CAIRO - 2 June 2026: The Suez Canal Economic Zone’s revenues have more than tripled over the past eight years, increasing from LE 2.8 billion in FY2016/2017 to LE 11.6 billion in FY2024/2025, according to infographics released by the Cabinet’s Media Center.
The infographics highlighted several major projects inaugurated in the SCZone since the beginning of 2026, reflecting the zone’s growing role as a key industrial and logistics hub.
Among the projects was Camstone for Advanced Industries, with investments of $8 million and an annual production capacity of 2 million square meters of high-quality SPC flooring.
The list also included the expansion of Kadmar International’s logistics center, with investments of $24 million and an annual storage capacity of 34,000 tons.
Other newly opened projects included the Modern Hygienic factory for sanitary products, with investments of $100 million, a production capacity of 1.2 billion units, and 4,500 tons of raw materials annually.
The SCZone also inaugurated Go Steel’s steel pipe manufacturing plant, with investments of $45 million and an annual production capacity of 72,000 tons.
In the renewable energy sector, the infographics highlighted the launch of Elite Solar Suez Technology, with investments of $40 million and a production capacity of 2 GW, alongside Elite Solar Green Energy, with investments of $76 million and a production capacity of 3 GW. Both projects are part of the Elite Solar complex for solar energy technology.
SCZone ports also recorded notable progress. Sokhna Port received a Guinness World Records certificate for having the world’s deepest man-made land-based port basin, at a depth of 19 meters.
Meanwhile, East Port Said Port ranked third globally in the World Bank’s 2024 Container Port Performance Index and was included among the world’s top 100 ports for 2025 by Lloyd’s List.
In April 2026, East Port Said Port received MV PAROSHIP, the largest dry bulk vessel ever to berth at an Egyptian port.
On the industrial zones front, investments in the Sokhna Industrial Zone reached $33.1 billion across 547 projects, creating more than 133,000 direct jobs, alongside 88 supporting and service activities.
Investments in the West Qantara Industrial Zone reached $1.5 billion across 52 projects, generating around 72,000 direct jobs.
The infographics also showed that investments in the East Port Said Integrated Industrial Zone reached $367 million across 7 projects, creating around 2,000 direct jobs.
Meanwhile, first-phase investments in Technology Valley projects in the East Ismailia Industrial Zone reached around $59 million across 4 projects, creating more than 900 jobs.
These figures reinforce the Suez Canal Economic Zone’s position as one of Egypt and the region’s leading industrial and logistics hubs.
The zone benefits from an integrated investment environment, supported by its strategic location on global trade routes, developed infrastructure, an advanced port network, and fully equipped industrial zones capable of serving different production activities.
This strengthens the SCZone’s ability to attract foreign investment, support supply chain integration, increase production and exports, and advance Egypt’s wider strategy to build a more competitive, production-driven economy.
