Egypt has experienced a revival of local retailers, brands, and concept stores exclusively selling locally-made artisan goods. Throughout 2018, the local retailers market share increased by 15%, partly due to the increased hurdles put on importation of foreign goods and the increasingly unaffordable prices of high-street brands.

Local retailers and concept stores have performed exceptionally well compared to many high-street international brands, which has signified a market gap and opportunity for local businesses and investors considering the retail sector.
