Egypt unveils 28 strategic industrial investment opportunities

In line with directives from Lieutenant General Engineer Kamel El Wazir, Deputy Prime Minister for Industrial Development, Minister of Industry and Transport, to deepen local manufacturing, the Ministry of Industry has identified 28 promising and targeted industries and investment opportunities to attract capital. This push aims to meet market needs and reduce the import bill.

The ministry is calling on serious investors to inject new investments or expand existing operations in these targeted, promising sectors, which it is prioritizing heavily.

The selection of these specific opportunities was based on several key criteria, including: availability and pricing of energy sources (gas, electricity, mazut, coal), average monthly wages for workers, technicians, and engineers, availability of primary resources and raw materials in Egypt, availability of production technology and necessary factories for the industry, local market demand for the products, and leveraging Egypt's geographic location for industrial product distribution.

 

The 28 specific investment opportunities are as follows:

1-Solar Energy Components: Cells, storage batteries, solar tracking systems, inverters, smart monitoring software, conventional transparent solar panels, innovative printable panels, and advanced energy storage technologies.

2-Automobiles and Components: Electric vehicles, tires, various equipment (engines, steering systems, suspension systems, brakes, glass, car and bus chassis/bodies, brake drums), electric and gasoline car batteries, lighting, electronics, and smart systems.

3-Software and Industrial Control Tools: Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning solutions for industrial sectors, smart healthcare solutions, autonomous driving systems, smart software for electronics, and AI solutions for e-commerce.

4-Wind Energy Components: Motors, blades/fans, inverters, support towers, transformers, control systems, batteries/storage systems, and monitoring/maintenance equipment.

5-Desalination and Treatment Plant Components: Reverse osmosis membranes, high-pressure pumps, filter systems, water tanks, electrical and control systems, chemical disinfection systems, power generators, monitoring/maintenance devices, treated water quality control systems, filtration devices, and strainers.

6-Infant Formula: Starting from raw material processing (raw milk collection, processing/purification, pasteurization, adding nutritional supplements/vitamins, drying, packaging) rather than just assembly.

7-Aluminum: Aluminum profiles, foil paper, sheets/panels, cladding, aluminum wires, industrial spare parts, containers and vessels, heat-treated aluminum, and anodized aluminum.

8-Electrical Transformers: Advanced electrical insulators, advanced cooling systems, smart switches and advanced control systems, dry transformers, advanced measurement technologies, and ultra-high voltage transformers.

9-Seamless Pipes: Pipes, ribbed pipes, corrosion-resistant pipes, and thermally insulated pipes.

10-Water Lifting Pumps and Appliance Motors: Horizontal pumps, submersible pumps; motors for dishwashers/washing machines, stationary/portable air conditioners, and high-performance specialized blenders.

11-Pharmaceutical Preparations and Cosmetics: Based on cultivating aromatic and medicinal plants, extracting essential oils and natural extracts for use in pharmaceutical and cosmetic manufacturing.

12-Polyester Industry: High-performance polyester fibers, heat-treated polyester, fire-resistant polyester, fiberglass-reinforced polyester, and high-efficiency recycled polyester.

13-Soda Ash Industry: Producing sodium carbonate used to manufacture caustic soda or sodium bicarbonate (as by-products), an essential material for detergents, food, and water industries.

14-Electric Motors and Components: High-efficiency synchronous motors, linear motors, high-performance permanent magnet motors, turbine motors, and motors for specialized industrial applications.

15-Electric Generators: High-efficiency gas generators, large turbine generators, high-capacity emergency portable generators, hybrid multi-fuel generators, and solar-powered generators.

16-Inks: For printing on paper and plastic.

17-Electrical Tools/Equipment: Smart switches, advanced lighting bases (e.g., remote-controlled), high-heat-resistant sockets, specialized industrial transformers, smart fuses, Wi-Fi lighting control switches, smart protection switches, and electrical capacitors.

18-Recyclable Materials Industry: Recycling bio-plastics, manufacturing biodegradable materials, recycling e-waste, recycling advanced metal materials, producing biodegradable bags, and recycling advanced types of glass and paper.

19-Central Air Conditioning Chillers: Absorption cooling chillers, dry cooling or ammonia cooling chillers, smart remote-controlled chillers, high-energy-efficiency chillers, hybrid solar/electric chillers, and chiller systems with AI for performance monitoring and automatic control; smart application cooling systems; and chiller system components for operational safety.

20-Elevators and Escalators: Smart elevators with remote control systems, solar-powered elevators, escalators with advanced safety technology, energy-saving escalators, lightweight elevators for residential/hotel applications, multi-function control elevators, and fire-resistant escalators.

21-Systems: Surround sound systems, AI-powered surveillance cameras, integrated sound systems for smart buildings, thermal camera monitoring systems, integrated sound systems for events and conferences, 4K quality surveillance cameras, and advanced 3D sound systems.

22-Advanced Robotics Industry: Industrial robots to improve production lines, medical robots for surgery and treatment, smart robots for storage and transportation, and service robots (e.g., cleaning in polluted areas).

23-Green Hydrogen Industry: Hydrogen production using renewable energy (solar, wind), electrolysis using clean energy sources, low-cost hydrogen storage technologies, and green hydrogen as an alternative fuel for transport and heavy industry.

24-Petrochemicals: PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride), PE (Polyethylene), PP (Polypropylene), PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate), PU (Polyurethane), synthetic rubber, and others.

25-Textile Industries: Ready-made garments, textiles, natural and synthetic fiber yarns, polyester fabric recycling, textile factory waste recycling, and synthetic fibers.

26-Food Industries: Healthy/alternative foods (organic and gluten-free products), plant-based meat, healthy and frozen ready-meals, milk alternatives (e.g., almond milk), food products for special diets, healthy packaged snacks, protein-fortified foods, whey protein production, and citric acid production.

27-Leather Industries: Leather shoes, bags, clothing, and belts; leather products using 3D printing; customized leather furniture with complex colors and patterns; and reprocessing tannery waste (to produce amino acids for improved textile dyeing performance and for gelatin dyeing - medical/industrial).

28-Iron and its Derivatives: Rebar, flat iron, hot-rolled iron, cold-rolled iron ("car sheet metal"), cast iron, iron pipes, iron wires, stainless steel; and iron waste recycling (galvanizing plant waste like spent hydrochloric acid to produce ferric chloride for water treatment; iron waste used in metal furniture like stands, handles as household building supplies; and steel plant waste like refractory bricks to produce magnesium sulfate as a specialized fertilizer).
