Industry Sector Contribution to GDP in Egypt (1990-2022)

Egypt's industry sector saw a strong upward trend from 1990, with contributions rising significantly to 39.9% by 2014. The sector's growth was fueled by infrastructure expansion, especially during the early 2000s, with major investments in construction and oil production. However, 2016 marked a turning point with industry contributions falling to 32.5% following the devaluation of the Egyptian pound and economic reforms aiming to diversify beyond traditional industries. Despite this dip, recent years have shown recovery, with contributions stabilizing around 32-35% due to ongoing investment in energy projects and manufacturing. This resilience highlights Egypt’s strategic adjustments to maintain industrial growth amidst economic shifts and currency challenges.
