Qatar: Services, value added (current US$)

Key figures

Over five years it is up 33.04% from US$76.17 billion in 2020 (5.88% a year on average, compounded). Since 1980 it is up 5,176% from US$1.92 billion in 1980 (9.21% a year on average, compounded).

What the numbers say

In 2025, Qatar's services, value added (current US$) rose 3.3% on 2024 (from US$98.08 billion to US$101.34 billion).

Across the 30 yearly changes before that (1995 to 2024), the average change was +12.4% and a typical year strayed about 15% from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 0.6 standard deviations below that average, so it was an ordinary year: it sits within the range of normal year-to-year movement.

On record, the biggest yearly rise was 72.7% in 2006 and the biggest yearly fall was 7.8% in 1985. The numbers show how large and when, not why; for the cause, look at what happened in that country in those years.

From 2016 to 2025 the straight-line trend is upward, about US$2.97 billion a year. A straight line explains 82% of the movement over 10 observed years.

A straight-line projection, tested first

Extending that straight line gives about US$106.77 billion for 2028. We show this only because the same method, fitted on earlier years, predicted 2023 to 2025 better than "no change" would have: its average miss was US$4.52 billion, against US$7.78 billion for assuming no change. Treat it as a continuation of the recent pattern, not a forecast of events: it cannot see a recession, a policy change or a revision to the data.

Value added is the contribution to the economy by a producer or an industry or an institutional sector, which is estimated by the total value of output produced and deducting the total value of intermediate consumption of goods and services used to produce that output. This indicator is expressed in current prices, meaning no adjustment has been made to account for price changes over time. This indicator is expressed in United States dollars.

Regional and income-group figures are computed by the World Bank as a gap-filled total.
