Egypt’s exports of chemical products and fertilisers demonstrated solid expansion in 2025, exceeding US$9.4 billion, according to official figures from the Export Council for Chemical Industries and Fertilisers. The results underline the sector’s growing contribution to the country’s external trade and industrial development agenda, reports Daily News Egypt, a TV BRICS partner.
Data released by the council show that total exports reached around US$9.43 billion between January and December 2025, up from US$8.78 billion in 2024. The increase of approximately US$650 million represents a year-on-year growth rate of 7.4 per cent, reflecting sustained momentum across international markets.
Stronger demand for Egyptian goods abroad, combined with improved performance in key segments such as fertilisers, basic chemicals, and intermediate products, supported this upward trend. The expansion further consolidates the industry’s position as a important pillar of Egypt’s non-oil export portfolio.
The council attributed the positive outcome to the capacity of Egyptian producers to maintain competitiveness while meeting evolving quality, environmental, and technical standards. Combined exports to the ten leading destinations totalled around US$5.62 billion, accounting for close to 60 per cent of the sector’s overall exports.
Experts noted the 2025 performance reflects ongoing cooperation with member companies and relevant stakeholders to strengthen export capacity. He noted that the sector remains central to Egypt’s industrial and investment landscape. Looking to 2026, the council plans to expand into new markets in Africa, Asia and Latin America, integrate more small and medium-sized enterprises into export activity, promote sustainability and green transition, and increase the share of value-added products.
