Qatar Aquaculture and Fisheries Market Trends
Increase in Seafood Demand due to Rising Population
Qatar's rising population, booming economy, and popularity as a tourist destination have raised the demand for high-quality culinary products. For instance, according to the World Bank, the population in the country was 2.78 million in 2018. This rose to 3.01 million by 2021, placing a critical need on the sustainable and efficient management of marine resources and fish stock. Additionally, as affluent individuals control the majority of the country's private wealth, it is expected to experience the most significant increase in demand.
Along with this, the country's consumer food choices have changed due to growing urbanization and an increase in the percentage of wealthy people. Unlike the less diverse diets of rural cultures, city inhabitants prefer a diet high in animal proteins and healthy fats. As a result, the food consumption pattern is gradually shifting away from carbohydrate-based staple foods to protein-rich meals, including fish, meat, and dairy. The population growth and consumption rates are likely to be the major factors driving the fisheries and aquaculture sector in the country.
Moreover, the growing concerns about obesity and diabetes in the country and the presence of various expatriates have also resulted in rising demand for healthy foods. As fish and other aquatic species provide health benefits, the opportunities for healthy and light value-added seafood products are anticipated to increase. Therefore, the demand for seafood products is expected to rise significantly due to the rising population and awareness regarding healthy foods, which is also anticipated to impact the market growth in the country positively.
