Positioning Qatari Products for Global Markets with GMP Standards
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.

Syria signs $800m Tartous port deal with UAE firm DP World
Syria has finalised an $800m agreement with Dubai-based DP World to redevelop its Tartous port in a bid to speed up post-war reconstruction. State news agency SANA said the deal was signed in Damascus on Sunday between DP World and the General Authority for Land and Sea Ports, in the presence of Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa. Syrian officials described the deal as a key step towards modernising the country's logistics infrastructure. 'This strategic move will bolster our port operations and logistics services,' SANA quoted an unnamed official as saying. Since the fall of former President Bashar al-Assad in December, Syria's new leadership has been pushing to re-establish economic ties with international companies and bring the war-torn country back into the global market. Speaking after the signing, DP World CEO Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem said Syria's economic potential remained strong, noting the Tartous port could play a central role in reviving local industry. 'Syria possesses valuable assets,' he said, 'and Tartous is an essential hub for trade and exports. We aim to transform it into one of the world's leading ports.'DP World manages dozens of port facilities across Europe, Africa and Asia and has been expanding its reach in the Middle East. Qutaiba Badawi, who heads Syria's port authority, said the agreement marked more than just a commercial venture. 'We are laying the groundwork for a new era of maritime development, positioning Syria again on the international economic stage,' he said. The Tartous deal follows several high-profile contracts signed in recent months. In May, Damascus entered a 30-year agreement with French shipping company CMA CGM to operate Latakia port. That same month, Syria inked a $7bn energy deal with a coalition of Qatari, Turkish, and US firms to revive the country's power sector. Earlier this month, the United States said it will revoke its designation of Hayat Tahrir al-Sham as a 'foreign terrorist organization' as Washington softens its approach to post-war Syria. Last month, US President Donald Trump issued an executive order lifting several longstanding sanctions on Syria, which Washington said would support the country's reconstruction. The US Treasury noted the decision would ease restrictions on companies considered vital to Syria's rebuilding and governance. Western sanctions had hampered reconstruction efforts for years, further crippling an economy already shattered by more than a decade of civil war and human rights abuses under al-Assad's rule.

ISO Consultancy in Pakistan 2025
Explore how ISO consultancy in Pakistan is evolving with digital tools, AI-driven platforms, and sustainability trends to meet 2025 business needs. In recent years, ISO consultancy in Pakistan has helped businesses gain credibility, improve efficiency, and meet regulations. As we enter 2025, ISO consultancy is changing fast. Digital tools, rising industry needs, and global supply chain demands are shifting consultants' roles from paperwork support to digital and strategic partners. The use of digital tools in ISO consultancy is growing. Cloud-based systems, AI audits, and automated platforms are streamlining how ISO is applied. Consultants now offer portals for documents, remote audits, and performance tracking. These tools save time, cut manual work, and boost consistency. Companies going for ISO 9001 (Quality) or ISO 27001 (Security) prefer consultants who give tools for live compliance checks, remote gap analysis, and audit readiness. Many Pakistani firms, especially SMEs, are adopting these tools to meet customer expectations in export markets. Digital compliance platforms also support multi-site certifications, which are becoming more common in sectors like logistics, IT, and food manufacturing. Virtual services are now common. ISO consultants in Pakistan run remote gap checks, training, and audits using secure platforms. This saves travel time and reduces costs. Many consultants also offer hybrid models—initial site visits followed by remote sessions—to ensure flexibility without losing touch with on-ground operations. More firms want Integrated Management Systems. These merge ISO 9001, 14001, and 45001 into one system. It reduces duplication and makes compliance smoother. This trend is especially visible in large manufacturing units and the energy sector, where unified reporting systems save cost and time. Consultants offer dashboards and KPIs that help clients use data for better choices. These tools also support AI and SGE platforms by providing structured, useful data. Risk registers, internal audit scores, and compliance trends are now tracked digitally, allowing businesses to take early corrective actions and improve performance over time. ESG goals are gaining attention. Certifications like ISO 14001 and ISO 50001 support green practices. Consultants help companies meet both compliance and sustainability goals. Green certifications are also becoming essential for government tenders and international contracts, making them a strategic priority for many exporters. In 2025, consultants are more than advisors. They're strategic partners who guide firms in using digital tools, staying compliant, and growing sustainably. They understand industry challenges in Pakistan—from manufacturing to healthcare. Their insights help companies move past certification and reach long-term success. Consultants now also train in-house teams, help with certification renewals, and support transition to newer ISO versions, keeping businesses competitive and audit-ready at all times. The future of ISO consultancy in Pakistan depends on agility, innovation, and tech use. Consultants who adopt digital tools and align with ESG goals will lead in 2025. Businesses should choose ISO partners who bring both expertise and adaptability—and who understand how to align ISO systems with modern digital and sustainability needs. TIME BUSINESS NEWS
