Consumer appliances in 2024: The big picture
In 2024, consumer appliances in Egypt witnessed a significant improvement in retail volume sales, compared with 2023. This performance was supported by a more stable local currency against the US dollar, while the stronger availability of US dollars in banks aided the importation of inputs for local manufacturing.
2024 key trends
Following the 20% increase in June 2023, the government decided to raise domestic electricity prices by a further 6% in January 2024 and 30% in July 2024. The repeated increases in electricity prices made consumers more conscious about the electricity consumption of their appliances and forced them to invest more in inverter technology or shift away from electricity-powered appliances to gas-powered alternatives when available.
Competitive landscape
More players have started or are planning to manufacture consumer appliances locally. For example, BSH Hausgeräte’s factory to produce cookers, through investments exceeding EUR50 million.
Retailing developments
Retailers are extensively expanding their offline and online operations as opportunities for growth remain in consumer appliances. For example, B-Tech has invested an additional EGP500 million, with the aim of increasing its store network to 185 branches and controlling a double-digit share of retail sales of consumer appliances and electronics.
What next for consumer appliances?
Economic reforms and the USD35 billion development deal with the Abu Dhabi-based sovereign wealth fund ADQ have improved the outlook for Egypt. Global financial agencies like Moody’s, Fitch, and Morgan Stanley are positive about Egypt’s economic outlook.
