• The e-commerce industry has been a major growth driver for the domestic and international CEP markets in the country. The industry was valued at USD 3.10 billion in 2022 and is projected to reach USD 4.95 billion by 2027, boosting the CEP market's growth significantly.
• The lockdowns due to the COVID-19 pandemic caused imports from neighboring countries to cease, and Qatar turned to Europe and Asia to fill the import gap. Hence, its logistics industry expanded despite the lockdown. The government's ambitious intentions to transform the nation into a new logistical and regional hub have also aided in the expansion of the local logistics industry. The need for the CEP market has been driven by the e-commerce industry both nationally and internationally, with ecommerce rising from USD 2.58 billion in 2020 to USD 2.96 billion in 2021.
• Qatar Post, the national postal service, delivered 779,000 postal items domestically and internationally in 2021. By integrating its data and reporting, resource management, postal operations, billing, and customer service systems with digital channels, Qatar Post achieved significant system integration. In order to create a paperless workplace, reduce the risk of paper documents being lost or damaged, and make the process of replacing them safely easier, it started implementing a digital archiving system. With additional capabilities like requests for receipt and delivery made using the app and submission of inquiries through online chat or WhatsApp, it released a receipt and delivery application. As a result of this, incoming client calls decreased by 20%, 80,000 messages were received, and 30,000 fresh addresses were gathered. As processes become more efficient, the CEP value is projected to record a CAGR of 7.20% during 2023-2029.
