WHY EGYPT?
Due to the country’s rapidly expanding population, Egypt has the largest construction market in Africa driving significant investments in housing and infrastructure.
Architectural paints and coatings are the largest segment in the whole paints and coatings industry, as Egypt’s construction industry has been among the fastest growing in the world, expanding by an average of more than 9% in the past few years. Increased investment in developing the marine infrastructure, ship repairs and maintenance is boosting demand for marine coatings.
With Egypt’s paint and coatings market is expected to reach US$3.6bn by 2027, growing at a CAGR of 7.9% (2020-2027) (alliedmarketresearch.com), the Middle East Coatings Show Egypt offers the perfect opportunity to meet suppliers and manufacturers from the global coatings industry.
