Positioning Qatari Products for Global Markets with GMP Standards
Qatar is actively diversifying its economy and expanding its global trade reach. As a result, the need for internationally recognized quality standards is rising. Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) certification plays a crucial role in ensuring product safety, quality, and regulatory compliance across key industries such as pharmaceuticals, food, cosmetics, and supplements.
According to the Ministry of Public Health (MoPH), Qatar's pharmaceutical market is expected to grow to QAR 3.5 billion by 2027. This growth makes alignment with global standards like GMP more important than ever.
By adopting GMP standards, Qatari businesses can meet international requirements, improve credibility, and access high-value markets like the GCC, Europe, and Asia. Whether in Doha, Al Rayyan, or Mesaieed, firms that meet GMP expectations are positioned as reliable suppliers.
GMP ensures that products are consistently produced and controlled according to quality standards. It covers raw materials, factory conditions, hygiene, and staff training—reducing risks like contamination, recalls, and shipment rejections.
Globally, over 50% of product recalls in regulated sectors are due to GMP violations. In 2022, the U.S. FDA issued more than 200 warning letters for non-compliance. These facts highlight the serious consequences of neglecting GMP.
Importers, particularly in the EU and U.S., often require GMP certification. Without it, even quality products from Qatar may be denied entry. Hence, GMP is more than compliance—it's a strategic asset.
Achieving GMP certification involves facility audits, process improvements, documentation, and staff training. For many companies, especially SMEs, navigating these steps alone is challenging.
This is where GMP consultancy in Qatar becomes essential. Experienced consultants identify gaps, advise on improvements, and guide businesses through the compliance process.
At Qdot, we've found that over 60% of new clients lack proper SOPs or internal audit procedures—common causes of inspection failures.
Qdot is a trusted ISO and GMP consultancy based in Qatar. We work with businesses in Doha, Al Wakrah, Al Khor, and beyond, helping them achieve and maintain GMP compliance.
Our services include: GAP analysis and audit preparation
SOP and documentation development
Staff training programs
Post-certification support
We tailor our approach to meet each client's needs—from small food startups to large pharma companies.
Today's global buyers demand proof of quality. For Qatari firms, GMP certification offers that proof—ensuring products are safe, consistent, and export-ready.
As a GMP consultant, I've seen businesses transform through certification. Companies once struggling with basic compliance are now exporting confidently to Europe and Asia. GMP is not just a checklist—it's a long-term investment in quality.
With Qdot's support, GMP certification becomes achievable and impactful. Now is the time to partner with expert GMP consultancy in Qatar and elevate your business to global standards.
