The SCZone has attracted significant international investments, particularly in green energy and ship refueling, bolstering global supply chains.

Opportunity – Expansion of Warehousing Capacity

Egypt is actively enhancing its warehousing infrastructure to bolster the freight and logistics sector. The government plans to establish 15 dry ports and logistic zones nationwide, aiming to handle 6 million TEUs annually. The 6th of October Dry Port is operational, with the 10th of Ramadan Dry Port slated for awarding in April 2023. Additionally, a memorandum of understanding (MoU) has been signed to develop a 700-acre integrated logistics area in Salloum, facilitating trade with neighboring countries. These initiatives are set to significantly increase storage capacity and improve supply chain efficiency, supporting Egypt's ambition to become a regional logistics hub.

Freight Transport Dominates Egypt Freight and Logistics Market

The freight transport holds the largest market share of Egypt Freight and Logistics Market. The segment’s market dominance is driven by significant infrastructure developments, including nearly 80 transportation projects, such as port developments and multimodal transport facilities. Egypt's strategic location, bridging Europe, the Middle East, and Africa, further enhances this segment's prominence. The government's Vision 2030 aims to expand port handling capacity to 370 million metric tons from the current 120 million metric tons, alongside developing new railway networks and improving road infrastructure to bolster freight transport capabilities.

Impact of Escalating Geopolitical Tensions on Egypt Freight and Logistics Market

Escalating geopolitical tensions, particularly attacks by Yemen's Houthi group in the Red Sea, have severely impacted Egypt Freight And Logistics Market. In 2024, the Suez Canal's revenues plummeted by approximately USD 7 billion as shipping companies rerouted vessels around Africa to avoid the conflict zone. This diversion not only disrupted global trade but also strained Egypt's economy, which relies heavily on canal revenues. The crisis led to increased shipping distances and costs, with some routes extending by up to 53%, further inflating operational expenses. Although there are recent indications of stability returning to the Red Sea, the prolonged instability has necessitated a reevaluation of Egypt's economic strategies and international agreements.
