The forecasted cotton export figures for Egypt show a consistent decline from 2024 to 2028. The export values decrease from 265.0 thousand units in 2024, down to 213.0 thousand units in 2028. This downward trend suggests a year-on-year decline in cotton exports:
- From 2024 to 2025: -4.9%
- From 2025 to 2026: -5.2%
- From 2026 to 2027: -5.4%
- From 2027 to 2028: -5.8%
The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over this period is approximately -5.3%, indicating an average annual decline. Assuming the 2023 export figure was 278.0 thousand units, the trend suggests a significant and consistent reduction in cotton exports over this projected timeline.
Future trends to watch for include shifts in global cotton demand, changes in agricultural practices or productivity in Egypt, potential improvements in irrigation and water management, and market competition with synthetic fibers. Additionally, socio-political factors and international trade policies could further influence the export landscape.
