Boston, MA -- (SBWIRE) -- 06/22/2012 -- The Qatar government invested considerably in an attempt to develop the country's tourism, education and infrastructure, which led to considerable growth in the Qatar construction industry. The general causes for growth in the industry were Qatar's rising population growth, its per capita GDP and increased revenue from abundant gas resources. Conversely, the industry's growth was impeded in 2009 and 2010 due to affects of the global economic crisis, which reduced the demand for residential and commercial construction projects. The construction industry's share of Qatar's GDP reduced from 2009 to 2010. The Qatar government increased investments in educational and healthcare buildings should also create growth in the institutional construction market over the forecast period. During 2009-2010, the lack of investment in the construction of educational building projects resulted in a decline in the institutional construction market during the period.
