The import of computer data storage units to Egypt showed significant fluctuation over the years. From 2013 to 2015, there was a consistent rise, peaking in 2015. However, from 2016 onwards, imports declined significantly, showing a marked reduction by 2023, down to 8.42 Thousand Kilograms. Year-on-year variations reflected this volatility with a mix of sharp increases and considerable drops. The five-year CAGR leading up to 2018 indicated a slight increase, but the trend reversed from 2019 onwards, with a five-year CAGR showing consistent negative growth, hitting -7.78% by 2023. The forecast suggests a continued decline with a negative five-year growth rate of -56.63% by 2028.
Future trends to watch for include the impact of technological advancements in storage solutions, local production capacities, and changes in Egypt’s import policies. Additionally, the shift towards cloud storage and other digital advancements might further influence the necessity and volume of physical data storage imports.
