PROSPECTS AND OPPORTUNITIES
Department stores may benefit from tourism and infrastructure projects
Although economic conditions remain challenging, the medium-term outlook for department stores is set to improve due to increased investment in infrastructure and tourism. Ongoing developments such as Gardenia City, Mega Mall Pyramids, and Souq El-Dahab Mall are expected to provide new retail opportunities upon completion between 2025 and 2027.
Local sourcing and cultural positioning to strengthen competitiveness
Government-backed efforts to revitalise heritage department store brands are likely to continue into the forecast period. These initiatives are expected to focus on the promotion of high-quality, locally sourced products and the use of prime retail locations to boost visibility.
Digital channels to play a central role in channel recovery
