Competitive Landscape
Qatar Distribution Company Expands Its Portfolio to Stimulate Demand
Wine remains highly fragmented, with no company or brand able to establish dominance due to Qatar Distribution Company (QDC )'s exclusive control of distribution and retail. QDC’s exclusive status means that while the overall selection of brands and varieties has grown, particularly with the addition of New World wines, the competitive environment remains diffuse, with a wide assortment of products but no leading brand able to capture a disproportionate share.
