Between 2013 and 2023, gypsum production in Egypt exhibited a steady growth trajectory with minor perturbations. The value remained constant from 2013 to 2015 at 2.2 million metric tons, followed by gradual increases, peaking at 2.4 million metric tons in 2019. A notable dip occurred in 2020, with production dropping by 15.58%, likely due to disruptions such as the global pandemic. Post-2020, a significant recovery was observed, with production surging 16.34% in 2021 and reaching 2.55 million metric tons in 2023, marking a 1.51% year-on-year change. The average annual growth rate over the last five years stood at 1.64%.
Looking ahead, from 2024 to 2028, production is forecasted to continue growing at an average annual rate of 1.21%, translating to a cumulative growth of 6.19% over this period. This sustained growth trend suggests a stable expansion in the gypsum production sector in Egypt.
Future trends to watch for include potential impacts of economic policies, technological advancements in gypsum production, and shifts in global demand dynamics. Monitoring these factors will be crucial for predicting long-term production capabilities and market positioning.
