Egypt’s ready-made garments sector has achieved a historic milestone, with exports surpassing $3bn for the first time, according to the Apparel Export Council of Egypt (AECE). The council said total garment exports reached approximately $3.1bn between January and November 2025, marking the highest level ever recorded by the industry. These expansions, he added, will boost export-oriented production and further strengthen Egypt’s position as a leading regional hub for the apparel industry. On a monthly basis, garment exports in November 2025 rose by 18% year-on-year to $281m. February recorded the highest monthly growth rate at 30%, while July registered the highest export value, with shipments reaching $326m.
