TV BRICS - 1 September 2025

Medium-term projections aim for exports to reach US$12 billion by 2031

Egypt’s ready-made garment exports recorded a strong 26 per cent increase during the first seven months of 2025, rising to US$1.939 billion from US$1.539 billion in the same period of 2024, as reported by Daily News Egypt, a partner of TV BRICS.

Experts noted that if current monthly growth rates of between 30 and 35 per cent are maintained, exports could reach US$3.7 billion by the end of 2025, setting a historic record for the sector.

Exports to Saudi Arabia nearly doubled, climbing 97 per cent to 183 million US dollars. Medium-term projections aim for exports to reach US$12 billion by 2031, supported by expansion of industrial hubs, new textile and garment cities in Fayoum and Minya, and integration of small and medium-sized enterprises into the export network.
