Convenience Stores in Egypt

KEY DATA FINDINGS

2020 IMPACT

With more consumers shopping closer to home, the retail current value sales of convenience stores continued to grow, in spite of the economic shock of COVID-19

With stores in high-traffic locations and regular promotions, Quick 24 Hours continues to lead in convenience stores

Imported products increasingly give way to local brands due to government restrictions, higher taxes and inflationary pressure

RECOVERY AND OPPORTUNITIES

Post-pandemic recovery will boost footfall and discretionary spending

Military deal could help Circle K narrow the gap to Quick

Forecourt retailers represent a growing competitive threat to convenience stores

Discounters in Egypt

KEY DATA FINDINGS

2020 IMPACT

In spite of sharp slowdown in new store openings, the retail current value sales growth of discounters remained vigorous

Aggressive pricing reinforces Kazyoun’s dominance

RECOVERY AND OPPORTUNITIES

Retail current value sales will moderate as store growth slows

Supermarket chains want a piece of the discount action

Discounters will seek to improve efficiency and leverage technology to boost their margins

Leader Majid Al Futtaim Hypermarkets LLC benefits from synergies between its hypermarkets and shopping malls

Smaller rivals lack economies of scale

RECOVERY AND OPPORTUNITIES

Retail current value sales growth set for a post-pandemic slowdown, as bulk buying trend fades

Supermarkets in Egypt

KEY DATA FINDINGS

2020 IMPACT

COVID-19 provided a significant boost to supermarkets, as consumers stocked up on essentials and ate more meals at home

Aggressive expansion strategy helps Majid Al Futtaim Hypermarkets LLC to consolidate its leadership

Supermarkets benefit from increased female labour force participation

RECOVERY AND OPPORTUNITIES

Post-pandemic normalisation will result in a sharp slowdown in retail current value sales growth

Upmarket banners likely to remain marginal

Traditional Grocery Retailers in Egypt

KEY DATA FINDINGS

2020 IMPACT

Modern grocery retailers continue to eat into the sales of their traditional counterparts

When COVID-19 struck, being close to consumers proved to be a major advantage for traditional grocery retailers

Family-run stores dominate

RECOVERY AND OPPORTUNITIES

As daily life starts to return to normal, traditional grocery retailers will suffer a post-pandemic hangover

Increased female labour force participation will help to shift demand from traditional to modern grocery retail outlets

Ongoing expansion of modern grocery retailers will undermine the key advantage of traditional outlets

Apparel and Footwear Specialist Retailers in Egypt

KEY DATA FINDINGS

2020 IMPACT

Normal purchasing patterns resumed once lockdown measures were relaxed

With many spending lockdown by the coast, COVID-19 boosted demand for summer clothing and footwear

RECOVERY AND OPPORTUNITIES

Post-pandemic rebound will be tempered by lingering economic anxiety

Franchising will become more prominent in apparel and footwear specialist retailing, as better capitalised small business owners seek to reduce risk

Health and Beauty Specialist Retailers in Egypt

KEY DATA FINDINGS

2020 IMPACT

Lockdown and economic uncertainty take their toll

Restrictions on movement led more consumers to try e-commerce

Higher customers duties continue to weigh on demand for imported cosmetics brands

RECOVERY AND OPPORTUNITIES

Home and Garden Specialist Retailers in Egypt

KEY DATA FINDINGS

2020 IMPACT

Lockdown and economic uncertainty led to the postponement or delay of many home improvement projects

New licensing requirements leave home maintenance projects tangled in red tape

Already waning, demand for luxury imported furniture is undermined further by the pandemic

RECOVERY AND OPPORTUNITIES

New regulations will impede recovery in demand for home improvement supplies

Franchising will grow in popularity among new business owners seeking to minimise risk by working with an established banner

E-commerce will remain negligible, as local consumers are attached to in-person shopping, particularly for home furnishings

2020 IMPACT

Lockdown measures led to temporary store closures, driving a decline in retail current value sales

Low barriers to entry result in a large number of small players

Chinese retailer Miniso continues its rapid expansion

RECOVERY AND OPPORTUNITIES

Post-pandemic normalisation will see increased footfall and impulse purchases

Leader Set El Kol Co will continue to be squeezed by Miniso and independent operators
