Egypt E-commerce Market - Growth, Trends, COVID-19 Impact, and Forecast (2022 - 2027)

Market Report I 2022-06-01 I 100 Pages I Mordor Intelligence

The Egypt e-commerce market is expected to register a CAGR of 19.43% during the period 2022-2027. Egypt's e-commerce business is primarily driven by rising internet penetration, improved infrastructure, and an increased number of online shoppers.

Key Highlights
The Egyptian market boasts the region's highest population of internet users. Egypt's Internet penetration is predicted to reach 53.5 million in 2019, with 8% of them using the Internet on a regular basis. Electronics, entertainment, airline tickets, and fashion are the most common internet transactions.
Most businesses began operating remotely in 2020, as a new disease struck the world and forced social isolation. This has accelerated the process of strengthening the digital transformation and prompted the Egyptian government to take additional steps to ensure a smooth but successful transition and propel Egypt to become a regional leader in the telecommunications and IT industries.
The Information Technology Industry Development Agency (ITIDA) was founded by Egypt's Electronic Signature Law 15 of 2004 to operate as the e-signature regulatory authority and to promote Egypt's information technology sector. The government launched the e-signature service in 2009, allowing both public and private businesses to provide e-signature authentication.
However, e-commerce in Egypt confronts various challenges: there are only about 10 million credit/debit cardholders. Hence 80 percent of e-commerce in Egypt relies on cash for delivery. However, credit card issuance is increasing at a pace of roughly 40% per year, indicating that cash needs may be decreasing.
