Industry Findings: Operational modernisation in Qatar’s postal and logistics operations — such as the large robotic sorting roll-out for Qatar Post — has made high-throughput sorting and last-mile automation a clear procurement priority; practical deployments in Doha signal to regional buyers that robotics can scale in small, dense national markets, encouraging further investment in delivery and sorting platforms optimised for short-distance, high-frequency flows.
Industry Progression: Postal modernisation is proving automation can scale in small, dense markets — Qatar Post’s robotic sorting project (70 robots, launched in 2023) is a clear example of national operators using flexible robot sortation to improve parcel throughput, and it signals to regional logistics buyers that robotised sortation and last-mile automation can be deployed quickly and cost-effectively in compact markets, driving further investment in short-distance delivery and sorting platforms.
Industry Players: The market comprises many players, and a small portion of them includes Libiao Robotics (regional supplier), Swisslog, OTSAW, Doha Tech Labs, ACG Robotics (regional integrator), Advanced Electronics Company, and Hamad Medical Corporation innovation unit etc. Qatar is moving fast to integrate autonomous systems into high-throughput national assets; Hamad International Airport’s 2025 trials of autonomous vehicles and airside automation illustrate how operators are prioritising reliability and airside safety in dense operations (Feb 2025). That pushes procurement toward vendors with strong aviation-grade safety, airspace coordination capabilities, and integrated operations software.
