Egypt’s Industrial Sector Sees Marked Shift Over a Decade

Egypt’s industrial sector has undergone a notable transformation over the past 10 years, with changes reflected in non-petroleum manufacturing growth, exports and investment directed into the sector.

Non-petroleum manufacturing is one of the key measures of that shift. Its growth performance offers a way to assess industrial activity beyond petroleum-related production.

Export volumes provide another measure of the sector’s changing performance, alongside the investment allocated to industrial activity.

Taken together, these indicators frame a picture of change across production, overseas sales and investment. The available summary, however, does not provide figures or year-by-year comparisons to establish the scale or consistency of those changes.
