Innovative Business Models Transforming the Egyptian Two-Wheeler Market, 2024

Growth in the Market to be Driven by Last-mile Logistics Services and New Women Riders

Egypt is one of the fastest-growing and most resilient markets in the African continent. In 2019, it was the 45th largest economy and experienced significant economic advancement owing to a considerable reduction in unemployment and inflation. The country's GDP also increased by 5.6% to $302.3 billion between 2018 and 2019 with the industrial sector accounting for the largest portion of GDP at 27.9%. The growth is expected to remain constant for the next 3 to 4 years, promoting increased consumption in the economy. Furthermore, Egypt was the largest foreign direct investment (FDI) recipient amongst African economies, which provided the country much-needed employment and growth.
