Egypt’s construction sector growth is expected to accelerate in the fiscal years (2025/2026 and 2026/2027), driven by strong activity in infrastructure projects, particularly in the energy, utilities and transport sectors, according to a report by Fitch Solutions reviewed by the Cabinet’s Information and Decision Support Center (IDSC) Monday.
The report said the momentum reflects the government’s continued focus on expanding infrastructure networks and strengthening economic capacity through investment in strategic sectors.
Real growth in Egypt’s construction sector is forecast to rise from 4.1 percent in FY 2024/2025 fiscal year to 5.6 percent in 2026/2027 and further to 6.6 percent in 2027/2028.
Over the medium term, the sector is expected to grow at an average annual rate of 6.3 percent between 2026 and 2035, supported by economic recovery and long-term structural factors such as urban expansion and rising demand for transport, energy and infrastructure networks.
Major urban development projects are expected to remain key drivers of construction activity over the long term, including the New Administrative Capital as well as the coastal developments of Ras El-Hekma and Alam El-Roum, alongside other initiatives aimed at expanding residential, commercial and tourism projects in the coming years.
