Egypt is the largest consumer of boron minerals in Africa and plays an important role in the global market. Calcium borate is used as a raw material for glassmaking, detergents, ceramic glazes, enamels, catalysts and abrasives. It also finds application in water softening and fluxing agents for steel welding rods. In recent years calcium borate imports have been growing steadily due to increased usage by local industries including metalworking and plastics manufacturing.
The demand for calcium borate has grown rapidly over the past few years due to increasing industrial activities in Egypt. The country`s large population base coupled with its growing economy has enabled it to become one of the world`s leading consumers of mineral-based products such as calcium borate. Additionally, factors such as rising disposable incomes of households across all income levels are expected to further fuel demand growth over coming years. There is also strong potential for export growth given that domestic production currently meets only around 20% of total consumption needs while 80% is imported from other countries such as China or Turkey.
A major constraint faced by producers & suppliers operating within this sector include high production costs which largely stem from reliance on limited natural resources & expensive mining machinery & equipment required for extraction operations; this makes it difficult for local players to compete against cheaper overseas competitors who can offer lower prices through economies of scale & better access to resources/technology advancements outside Egypt???s borders . Moreover there is a lack in government incentives towards investment into this industry hence limiting further expansion opportunities within current markets.
Major companies active within Egypt???s calcium borate market include National Borate Company (NBC), Mineral Resources Authority (MRA), Suez Chemical Industries Co., Chemtrade International Ltd., Natural Resources Corporation (NRC) among others . Most firms operate at regional level domestically however some have begun developing international presence through strategic partnerships with foreign counterparts.
The Covid-19 pandemic has had both positive & negative effects on the supply chain dynamics associated with this sector , resulting in shortages seen during early 2020 followed by sharp declines later throughout year caused by reduced economic activity across various sectors ??? leading many services providers unable provide adequate supplies timely basis . Furthermore some companies were affected due labor restrictions imposed enforce social distancing guidelines however overall impact appears be minimal since majority businesses managed continue functioning normal despite these challenges.
