Egypt’s exports to the United States rose 19.9 per cent to $2.7 billion in 2025 from $2.3 billion a year earlier, data released by the Central Agency for Public Mobilisation and Statistics (CAPMAS) showed on Monday.

The United States accounted for 5.2 per cent of Egypt’s total exports in 2025.

Ready-made garments remained Egypt’s largest export to the US market, generating $1.3 billion, or 48.7 per cent of Egypt’s exports to the United States. Exports of ready-made garments rose 11.4 per cent from $1.2 billion in 2024.

Egypt’s imports from the United States climbed 70.6% to $13.0 billion from $7.6 billion a year earlier, accounting for 12.6% of the country’s total imports.

The rise was driven mainly by imports of mineral fuels, mineral oils, and products of their distillation, which more than doubled to $7.8 billion from $3.3 billion in 2024. The category accounted for 59.7 per cent of Egypt’s imports from the United States, according to CAPMAS.
