Egyptian furniture industry development

Overview

The Egyptian furniture industry is seeing increased focus on both domestic marketing and large-scale industrial infrastructure. In late July 2026, the second annual ‘Made in Damietta’ exhibition opened in Alexandria, featuring eighty factories. The event aimed to support small and medium-sized enterprises by providing direct marketing channels and affordable products to citizens.

By late August 2026, attention shifted toward the development of Damietta Furniture City. Egypt’s Minister of Industry and the Governor of Damietta inspected the specialized industrial zone, which includes a free zone, a dry port, and a logistics zone. Officials emphasized the city’s role as a Middle Eastern hub for furniture production and its importance in meeting international standards to facilitate exports.
