The construction industry in Egypt is expected to grow by 4.2% in real terms in 2024, supported by an improvement in investments in commercial, transportation, and energy projects. According to the Ministry of Planning and Economic Development (MPED), the construction industry’s value add grew by 5.5% year on year (YoY) in the first three months of 2024, preceded by Y-o-Y growth rates of 5.1% in Q4 and 4.2% in Q3 2023. Growth in the energy sector will be supported by the government’s aim to increase oil production by 9% from 580,000 barrels per day in FY2023/24 to 637,000 barrels per day in FY2024/25. However, the rising political tension between Israel and Hamas, spiraling tensions in the Red Sea, the devaluation of the Egyptian pound (EGP) are expected to weigh upon the investors’ confidence in the short term.

The construction industry’s output is expected to record an annual average growth rate of 7.8% between 2025 and 2028, supported by investments in transport, renewable power, housing, and green ammonia projects, coupled with the government’s eight-directional economic strategy announced in January 2024 for the period 2024-2030. Under this strategy, the government aims to attract EGP32 trillion ($668.8 billion) of investments and raise the value of exports from EGP135.4 billion ($3.2 billion) in April 2024 to EGP4.2 trillion ($100 billion) by 2030. The government’s goal of developing four new green ammonia projects as part of the government’s aim to make Egypt a global green hydrogen production hub by 2030 will support the industry’s growth. Growth will also be supported by the government's goal of building 38 smart cities by 2050 which includes the development of EGP6.3 trillion ($150 billion) Ras El-Hekma city project by 2028.
