Egypt Plywood Market Trends:

Increasing construction activities

Rising construction activities are fueling the market growth in Egypt. As per the IMARC Group, the Egypt construction market size reached USD 27,079.4 Million in 2024. With the government investing heavily in infrastructure, housing, and urban development, there is a continuous demand for building materials like plywood. Large-scale projects, including new residential cities, highways, and public facilities, are creating the need for plywood in both structural and interior applications. Plywood is widely employed in construction for concrete formwork, flooring, walls, and temporary structures because it is strong, lightweight, and affordable. Contractors and builders prefer plywood due to its ease of utilization, quick installation, and ability to meet various design needs. It is also useful in finishing work like wall paneling, ceilings, and built-in furniture. Moreover, as increasing population is creating the requirement for housing and infrastructure, construction activities are expanding in both urban and rural areas. This is resulting in a higher volume of plywood utilization. In addition, government programs aimed at promoting affordable housing are enhancing the use of cost-effective materials like plywood. The growth in commercial construction, including schools, hospitals, and offices, is also adding to this demand.

Expansion of travel industry

The burgeoning travel industry is impelling the Egypt plywood market growth. According to industry reports, in the initial half of the fiscal year (FY) 2024-2025, approximately 8.7 Million travelers arrived in the nation. As tourism activities are increasing, more hotels, resorts, restaurants, and entertainment venues are being built or renovated across the country. These developments are driving the demand for plywood, which is used in furniture, flooring, wall paneling, and decorative interiors. Plywood is preferred in hospitality projects because it is lightweight, cost-effective, and easy to work with. It also offers a smooth finish that suits modern interior designs, making it ideal for guest rooms, lobbies, and public areas. The need for quick construction and renovation in the travel industry is further promoting the utilization of plywood due to its ease of installation. Tourist destinations, such as Cairo, Luxor, and the Red Sea region, are experiencing continuous development, catalyzing the demand for wood-based materials.

Broadening of retail channels

The expansion of retail outlets is offering a favorable market outlook. According to the CEIC, wholesale and retail trade figures were documented at 735,006.160 EGP Million in December 2024. As shopping malls, supermarkets, and retail outlets are growing across cities and towns, the demand for plywood in store construction and interior design is increasing. Plywood is commonly used for shelves, counters, partitions, and display units because it is affordable, easy to install, and has a clean finish. Retail stores often require frequent renovations to keep up with trends and customer expectations, which further boosts the utilization of plywood. Pop-up shops and kiosks also rely on plywood for quick and flexible setups. The rise of local and international retail brands entering the Egyptian market is catalyzing the demand for good-quality, cost-effective building materials.
