According to manufacturing giant Hempel, Egypt’s marine, energy and infrastructure coatings segments are currently estimated to be worth a combined US$63.7M, while the decorative sector storms ahead at US$106.2M. This figure is expected to rise to US$950M by 2027, after growing at a CAGR of 6.2% from 2022-2027*.
Demand for paint in Egypt is driven by major construction and infrastructure projects throughout the country. For example, the government has assigned US$45bn to the construction of a new administrative capital city east of Cairo and US$88.5bn is being spent on new railway systems. According to government data, Egypt’s population is growing by 1.5M people per year, leading to US$40bn being earmarked for new housing projects over the coming decade.
