Egypt's Vehicle Exports Hit $35.5 Million in Two Months, Led by UK

Egypt exported $35.48 million worth of fully built vehicles in May and June combined, shipping 440 units to multiple global markets. The figure signals real momentum in the country's automotive export sector.

UK Leads With $12.6 Million in Vehicle Imports

The United Kingdom topped the list of destination markets with $12.57 million across just 85 vehicles, making it the highest-value buyer per unit. Toyota and other brands manufactured locally are clearly finding traction in British showrooms. The average value per vehicle heading to Europe dwarfs shipments to other regions.

Netherlands came second at $5.47 million through 18 vehicles, followed by Ghana at $5.17 million across 100 vehicles. The contrast is striking. Nissan and Hyundai are among the brands assembled locally that reach foreign buyers. Africa remains a volume-driven market for budget-friendly models.

Sweden received $3.97 million worth of Egyptian vehicles through 11 units, while Austria imported $2.55 million via just 4 vehicles. Europe buys fewer cars but pays more per unit. Kia and models like Elantra could feature in these shipments. High-value exports to Europe reflect demand for better-equipped vehicles.

Saudi Arabia, Libya, and Japan Round Out the List

Saudi Arabia imported 178 Egyptian vehicles worth $1.99 million — the highest unit count among Arab markets. Mitsubishi models such as the Attrage may be part of that flow. Libya followed at $1.74 million through 12 vehicles, and Japan imported $1.26 million across 20 units. Japan buying Egyptian-made cars? Unexpected. But the numbers are the numbers.

Other markets included Ireland at $371,300, Cameroon at $206,200, Greece at $87,300, the UAE at $40,000, France at $30,000, Lebanon at $15,400, and Belgium at $3,000. The geographic spread is wide. Toyota prices in the local market are directly influenced by export volumes, since factories split production capacity between domestic and foreign demand. Bottom line: $35.48 million in just two months proves Egypt's vehicle manufacturing sector can compete internationally.
