Egypt Construction Market Size, Trend Analysis by Sector, Competitive Landscape and Forecast to 2029 (Q4 2025)
Powered by ![]()
All the vital news, analysis, and commentary curated by our industry experts.
The construction industry in Egypt is expected to grow by 4.7% in real terms in 2025 and 6.4% in 2026, supported by rising foreign direct investment (FDI) in the country, coupled with the government’s investment in energy and industrial construction projects. The industry’s expansion in the initial part of the forecast period will be supported by investments outlined in Egypt’s financial year (FY) 2025/26 (July 2025 to June 2026) budget, approved in June 2025. The budget includes a total government spending of EGP4.6 trillion ($91.3 billion).
The construction industry's output is expected to register an annual average growth rate of 7.8% between 2027 and 2029, supported by investments in renewable energy, industrial, and housing projects. The government’s initiative to construct 672,000 housing units by 2030, with an investment of EGP318 billion ($6.3 billion), will support in addressing housing shortages caused by rapid population growth. Furthermore, the government’s target to develop 10GW of renewable energy by 2028, under the Nexus of Water, Food, and Energy Program (NWFE Program) will also support growth during the forecast period. In October 2025, Egypt’s Suez Canal Authority (SCA) formed a joint venture (JV) with Anchorage Investments, US-based investment management firm, to construct a petrochemical complex in Ain Sokhna. The first phase, with EGP100.8 billion ($2 billion) in investment, will produce polypropylene from propane and hydrogen as a byproduct. The second phase, costing around EGP226.7 billion ($4.5 billion), will expand production to other petrochemicals and establish complementary export-focused industrial units.
