Egypt’s trucking market could be up for big expansion in 2026: Egypt’s truck sales staged a significant recovery in 2025, with a notable 108.4% y-o-y increase in volumes, according to figures from the Automotive Marketing Information Council (Amic) seen by EnterpriseAM. The surge builds on a rebound that began in 2024, when sales rose 5.2% y-o-y after a four-year slump that began with the pandemic-era slowdown.

The breakdown: The star of the show was light trucks, whose sales almost tripled y-o-y. Meanwhile, heavy trucking also scored a solid recovery, growing 108% y-o-y.

Why this matters: The more than doubling of truck sales is a sign that the private sector has now decided it’s time to put capital into upgrading fleets, after a tough last few years led companies to put off modernizing aging fleets, Egyptian Automobile Manufacturers Association Secretary-General Khaled Saad tells EnterpriseAM.

Looking ahead, the uptick appears set to continue, as “a larger percentage of prospective buyers [than in the last part of 2025] postponed their decision until the first quarter of this year to secure the lowest possible price,” Saad tells us.

A caveat to the numbers: Amic figures are sourced from member distributors, representing the bulk — but not the entirety — of the industry.
