Egypt’s engineering industries sector has achieved a 12.4 percent rise in exports during the first ten months of 2025, reaching $5.33 billion compared with $4.75 billion over the same period last year, according to the Engineering Export Council of Egypt (EECE). October alone posted a 17.7 percent increase to $591 million, supported by heightened demand across European, Arab, Asian, and African markets.

The fastest-growing segments included electrical and electronic industries, up 35.3 percent, followed by machinery and equipment at 22.2 percent, transportation means 15.3 percent, auto parts 11.6 percent, home appliances 9.4 percent, and cables 2.9 percent. EECE Chairperson Eng. Sherif El-Sayed said the results reflect the sector’s strength, its ability to compete internationally, and the success of Egyptian companies in expanding their product range and raising quality to meet global standards.

To maintain growth, the EECE continues to implement support programmes for companies, including trade missions, participation in international exhibitions, and technical training plans. Executive Director Mai Helmy noted that these activities are designed to improve export readiness, foster new market penetration, and boost export volumes, particularly in Europe and Africa. She highlighted that companies’ engagement in these initiatives underscores their commitment to increasing international competitiveness.

The council is also working to enhance government export support schemes and strengthen communications with global importers. New initiatives scheduled for the coming period aim to build technical and marketing capabilities, ensuring Egyptian engineering products remain competitive in international markets.

With sustained support and strategic promotion, Egypt’s engineering sector is well positioned to continue its export growth trajectory into 2026, consolidating its presence across diverse global markets.
