According to the data of the Export Board of Building Materials, the number of States importing Egyptian cement was 95 around the world, and African States were at the forefront of importing States, reflecting the competitiveness of Egyptian cement in terms of quality and price, as well as geographical proximity and the availability of productive capacities.
Official data revealed Egypt ' s rise in cement exports, where Egypt is the third largest source of cement worldwide and the first Arab, with exports having record levels exceeding $800 million over 11 months in 2025.
Industry targets African and Libyan markets, with a significant increase in exports to a number of neighbouring States recently, where exports are characterized by competitive prices and product diversification, despite volatile export prices and declining exports in some 2025 periods.
