At a glance

The professional services sector has experienced significant growth due to increasing local economic activity and Qatar’s expanding global presence, contributing $5.3 billion to Qatar’s economy in 2020. The professional services sector is considered to be one of the emerging sectors due to a rapid expansion of other industries and domains that utilise professional services in their operations, including legal, consulting, accounting, advertising, and IT. The sector is further experiencing a demand surge as a result of a significant growth in the legal sector since 2017, driven by the increased need for cross-border regulatory expertise. Despite the challenges the sector faces worldwide, the professional services sector in Qatar remains lucrative due to the country’s appealing and sustainable workforce.
