Egypt’s engineering exports showed strong growth in 2025, reaching $5.93 billion in the first 11 months—the highest ever recorded. The Engineering Export Council of Egypt reported a 13.9% year-on-year increase from the previous year. November saw a 35.4% surge to $621.3 million.
The Engineering Export Council of Egypt (EEC) announced that engineering exports totaled $5.93 billion from January to November 2025, surpassing $5.20 billion in the same period of 2024. This 13.9% growth highlights the sector's resilience amid global challenges, with consistent monthly increases over 11 straight months.
In November, exports jumped to $621.3 million, up from $458.5 million the previous year. The success stems from export expansion strategies, targeted market plans, and promotional efforts coordinated with government bodies.
EEC Chairperson Sherif El-Sayad stated: "The growth was driven by robust performance across several key sectors. Machinery and equipment exports increased by 25%, followed by electrical and electronic industries at 24%, automotive components at 22%, transport equipment at 13%, and home appliances at 12%." He added that these figures underscore the diversification and competitiveness of Egypt’s engineering production base, emphasizing the need to attract further investment to sustain growth.
Exports saw notable gains in Europe, Arab countries, Asia, Africa, and the United States. El-Sayad reaffirmed the council’s commitment to supporting exporters by opening new markets and deepening penetration in existing ones, aligning with the state’s strategy to boost exports and strengthen the engineering sector’s role in economic growth.
