In Egypt"s dynamic chemicals market, oxygen plays a pivotal role as both an import and export commodity. Recent data highlights significant fluctuations in trade volumes and pricing for oxygen, revealing key insights into the market"s trajectory and potential opportunities for B2B engagement. In 2024, Egypt"s imports of oxygen surged to 198,640. 076 m³, valued at $59,998. 438. This marks a substantial increase from 2023, where imports were considerably lower at 12,001. 578 m³, valued at $3,817. 132.

This decline in exports might indicate a strategic shift towards fulfilling domestic requirements over international sales. The importation of other inorganic oxygen compounds also presents an interesting trend. Although there was a consistent import volume from 2020 to 2024, ranging from approximately 79,278 kg to 96,374 kg, the value of these imports has decreased from $1,162,230. 548 in 2020 to $375,313.

066 in 2024. This decline in value, despite stable quantities, could reflect a reduction in global prices or improved sourcing strategies by Egyptian importers. Furthermore, the importation of peroxosulphates (persulphates) shows a varied pattern, with the 2024 volume at 499,149. 836 kg and $961,090. 962, indicating a potential price stabilization following higher values observed in previous years. These trade dynamics present opportunities for businesses looking to explore the Egyptian market, especially in terms of sourcing and supplying oxygen and related compounds.
