Roughly $15 billion is in Egypt’s food retail industry. Sources anticipate growth in the next five years of 15-20 percent. The Egyptian market still dominates traditional outlets, which represent 98% of all outlets and about 75% of total sales. Egypt’s food retail sector, with its 115,000 outlets accounted for 98 percent of the country’s 119.000 stores and 80 percent of sales, is fragmented and dominated by small, conventional food retailing companies. The remaining 2% comprise 1500 outlets and about 20% of total sales and the growing formal industry of modern supermarkets, hypermarkets and convenience stores. Between 2017 and 2021, the modern food retail market is expected to double. More than 7,000 food manufacturing companies are active in the country according to the Egyptian Chamber of Food Industries (CFI).

As expected by the African Union Commission, a successful growth and food safety intra-continental trading share in 2022 will be achieved from 10% until 52%.
