The Egypt Malt Market has been growing significantly and is projected to attain major growth during the forecast period on the back of the country's abundance of raw materials, location of the country as well as its fertile soil. The market has also been facing certain challenges that can hamper its growth shortly.
According to 6Wresearch, the Egypt Malt Market size is estimated to rise at a CAGR of 7.10% during 2025-2031. Several factors drive Egypt's malt industry. One of the key drivers is the country's abundance of raw materials. Egypt's location and fertile soil have made it an ideal cultivator of barley over the years. The country's climate, which is favorable for growing multi-season crops, also contributes to the production of high-quality barley. Because of this, Egypt has become a significant player in the barley and malt industries. Another driver of Egypt's malt industry is the country's growing demand for beer.
The Egyptian beer market is expected to grow significantly over the next few years, driven by the increasing demand for premium beer and changing consumer preferences. Thus, there's a need for more malt production to meet the rising demand for beer production. That's why many malt producers in the country are expanding and upgrading their facilities to increase their malt production capacity. These factors have been stimulating the Egypt Malt Market Growth.
Although Egypt's malt industry has substantial growth potential, the industry still faces several challenges. One of the significant challenges is the scarcity of water, which affects barley cultivation and malt production, as it is a water-intensive process. The government has recognized this issue and is working towards improving water management practices. Another challenge is the lack of modern technology and infrastructure, making it challenging to produce malt products that meet international quality and safety standards.
The malt industry in Egypt is also driven by key players such as Soufflet Group, Malteries Soufflet Egypt, and United Malt Group. These companies have been investing heavily in their malt production facilities in the country to improve their overall production capacity and process of their malt products. They have also implemented new technologies and techniques in their malt production to improve the quality of their malt products.
The Egyptian government has recognized the significant contributions that the malt industry brings to the country's economy and is thus embarking on several initiatives to promote the industry further. One of these initiatives is agricultural reforms aimed at improving water management in agriculture and fostering investment in agriculture and agro-industrial projects. The government has also prioritized the improvement of infrastructure to support the malt industry, such as upgrading ports and transport systems.
According to Shubham Deep, Senior Research Analyst, 6Wresearch, barley malt has been the most popular type of malt, but other types such as wheat malt and malt extract are gaining in popularity.
The beer industry has always been the leading consumer of malt in the region, but with changing consumption patterns, other segments are also gaining popularity in the market.
