UAE Leads as Top Destination for Egypt's Booming Engineering Exports in 2025
Egyptian engineering exports are experiencing significant growth, with the United Arab Emirates (UAE) becoming the sector's number one market in 2025.

According to the Engineering Export Council of Egypt, exports grew by 12% between January and August 2025, rising from $3.746 billion in 2024 to $4.187 billion. This period marks the highest eight-month export level in the sector's history.

The Council's Executive Director, May Helmy, highlighted that while the UAE is the leading destination, Egyptian engineering products have seen notable expansion across markets in Europe, Asia, Africa, the Americas, and the wider Arab region.

Sherif El Sayad, Chairman of the Council, attributed this success to the sector's improved competitiveness despite global obstacles. He anticipates that this sustained growth trajectory will lead the sector to reach a total of $6 billion in exports by the close of 2025.
