The chemical industries sector has emerged as Egypt's largest export sector, playing a pivotal role in boosting the country’s economic growth and foreign trade.
According to recent reports, the sector has witnessed significant growth in production and exports, contributing substantially to Egypt’s overall export revenues.
The Chemical and Fertilizers Export Council of Egypt revealed that the sector accounted for a significant share of total exports in 2024, driven by strong demand for fertilizers, petrochemicals, and other chemical products in international markets.
Key export destinations include Europe, Africa, and Asia, with the sector benefitting from trade agreements and competitive pricing.
Industry experts attribute the sector's growth to government support, investment incentives, and the expansion of production capacities in recent years.
Major players in the industry have also adopted advanced technologies to enhance product quality and meet global standards, further boosting the sector’s competitiveness.
"The chemical industries sector is a cornerstone of Egypt’s export strategy," said a spokesperson from the Ministry of Trade and Industry. "It not only supports the national economy but also provides thousands of jobs and attracts foreign investments."
In addition to fertilizers and petrochemicals, Egypt’s exports include plastics, detergents, and paints, with efforts underway to diversify the product portfolio and explore new markets.
The government has also announced plans to increase the sector's share in total exports by investing in infrastructure, facilitating access to raw materials, and fostering innovation.
As global demand for chemical products continues to rise, Egypt’s chemical industries sector is poised for further growth, solidifying its position as a leading player in the international market and a key driver of the national economy.
