Egypt: Retail Foods Annual

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)   |   EG2025-0010
While small local grocers dominate the Egyptian retail market, representing more than 50 percent of sales by value, convenience and price will continue to drive the majority of Egyptian consumer buying decisions, presenting growth opportunities across all retail channels. Government spending on infrastructure projects and the growth of Egypt’s tourism sector will also help drive retail expansion. Despite recent economic challenges, Egypt’s expanding urban population is increasingly seeking diverse food products and international cuisines. In 2024, the United States was Egypt’s fifth-largest supplier of consumer-oriented food products.
