Demand for Beverages Driving the Market

• Favorable conditions like suitable temperatures, sandy loam soil, and day-night temperature variations in the region contribute to successful grape cultivation and wine production.

• Last year, South Africa produced 10.6 million hectoliters of wine, outpacing wine production in countries like China (5.9 million hectoliters) and Germany (7.9 million hectoliters). The trend is expected to continue.

• Investments by local beer manufacturers are also influencing the market positively.

Huge Growth Potential in Egypt

• Egypt also exports a significant number of raw materials, around 1 million tons annually. Shifting to exporting finished products instead of raw materials could yield higher financial returns and boost the manufacturing sector.
