Summary

GlobalData’s Construction in Egypt - Key Trends and Opportunities to 2029 (Q1 2025) report provides detailed market analysis, information and insights into the Egyptian construction industry, including -
  • The Egyptian construction industry's growth prospects by market, project type and construction activity
  • Critical insight into the impact of industry trends and issues, as well as an analysis of key risks and opportunities in the Egyptian construction industry
  • Analysis of the mega-project pipeline, focusing on development stages and participants, in addition to listings of major projects in the pipeline.
GlobalData expects the Egyptian construction industry to grow by 6.5% in real terms in 2025, supported by investment in oil and gas, industrial and housing construction projects. According to the Central Bank of Egypt (CBE), the country’s average construction production index grew by 5.8% year on year (YoY) in the first ten months of 2024, preceded by annual decline of 10.9% in 2023. The authority of Suez Canal Economic Zone (SCZone) revealed that it has attracted and secured 251 projects totaling EGP275.4 billion ($6.2 billion) from August 2022 to January 2025. In January 2025, four new projects were signed with a total investment of EGP81.3 billion ($1.8 billion). Additionally, in January 2025, Minister of Housing, Utilities, and Urban Communities, revealed that 757 water supply and sanitation project and road projects spanning 485km are under construction with a total investment of EGP36.4 billion ($823.4 million), accompanied with another 142 telecommunication projects totaling EGP2.2 billion ($48.8 million). In January 2025, domestic energy company Shell Egypt started the drilling of three gas wells at a cost of EGP10.2 billion ($230 million) in Mediterranean Sea to add 150 million cubic feet of gas per day by the end of 2025.

The construction industry's output is expected to register an annual average growth rate of 8% between 2026 and 2029, supported by investment in commercial, renewable energy, and transport infrastructure projects, coupled with the government’s target of developing 10GW of renewable energy projects by 2028 under the Nexus of Water, Food, and Energy Program (NWFE Program). The government reported that it signed an agreement with the Dubai-based energy investor Alcazar Energy Partners (AEP) in November 2024 for the development of 2GW of wind power projects in Egypt, in line with the energy target. Also, in December 2024, Emirati investment firm, Kazar announced its plan to invest EGP110.5 billion ($2.5 billion) to construct the 2GW solar and 1.1GW wind energy in Zafarana region, whose construction is anticipated to start in 2026. Growth over the forecast period will also be supported by the government's plans to develop 32 hydrogen plants, with a combined investment of EGP5.4 trillion ($228.1 billion) by 2030. To support this, in December 2024, SCZone revealed that it has finalized 12 agreements that will produce a combined 18 million tons of green hydrogen annually by 2030, with another project being planned with an investment of EGP331.5 billion ($7.5 billion) and a projected output of 1.3 million tons per year. Output over the forecast period will also be supported by the government’s plan to construct 672,000 housing units by 2030, with an investment of EGP318 billion ($13.4 billion) to tackle housing shortages due to the rapid increase in population and make the country slum-free by 2030.

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
