Federation of Industries: Egyptian-Made Clothing Accounts for 90% of Market, Exports to Reach 4 Billion

Egyptian-made garments account for 90% of clothing in the domestic market, according to the Federation of Industries, which also projected that exports would reach 4 billion.

The export forecast did not specify a currency or a timeframe for reaching that level.

Maha Saleh, assistant minister of industry for industrial policies, said the textile and ready-made garment industries have promising opportunities for growth and expansion.

Saleh pointed to Egypt’s strong underlying capabilities as a foundation for developing the two industries. Her remarks highlighted their potential to expand alongside the substantial presence of locally made clothing in the domestic market.
