Marché des ponts roulants en Égypte : comment choisir un fabricant compétent ?

In recent years, the Middle East has become one of the most dynamic markets in the global construction machinery industry, driven by massive infrastructure investment and rapid industrialization. According to data, the Middle East construction machinery market exceeded 12 billion U.S. dollars in 2023 and is expected to reach 16 billion by 2025, making it the fastest-growing regional market globally.

Within this regional growth, the Overhead Crane Market in Egypt stands out. As a strategic hub linking Asia, Africa, and Europe, Egypt has seen surging demand for heavy lifting equipment—especially overhead cranes—fueled by national projects such as the development of the Suez Canal Economic Belt and the construction of the new administrative capital. As a result, the Overhead Crane Market in Egypt is following a distinct growth trajectory and has become one of the most promising segments in the Middle East and North Africa region.

Overview of the Egypt Overhead Crane Market: Local and Imported, Mainly from China

Egypt trades with more than 190 countries (regions) around the world, with China, Saudi Arabia, the United States of America, Turkey and Italy as its top five trading partners. Egypt’s imports are mainly concentrated in manufactured goods, consumer durables and foodstuffs, including machinery and equipment, electrical equipment, grains, vehicles and accessories, plastics and products, pharmaceuticals, iron and organic chemicals. According to International Trade Center ITC data, China is the country that imports the most lifting machinery and equipment into Egypt, accounting for about 60%, followed by Italy, Turkey, and India. This data confirms the strong competitiveness of Chinese manufacturing in the Egyptian heavy machinery market. (Data source: International Trade Center, Trade Map) 

In recent years, major projects like the Suez Canal expansion, the new administrative capital, and developments in petrochemicals and wind power have driven demand for large lifting machinery in Egypt. The market now shows a dual pattern of local manufacturing and imports. According to the 2023 IDA census, local producers meet about 45–50% of demand, mainly supplying light equipment such as single girder cranes and small hoists, with limited capacity in heavy machinery. Chinese cranes account for 30–35% of imports, while European high-end equipment holds 15–20%, influenced by Egypt’s localization policies and technical cooperation with Chinese firms.

Egypt’s crane market has steadily grown in recent years. While foreign companies remain competitive in the high-end segment due to technological and brand advantages, several strong local players have emerged. This “local + international” dual-track model makes Egypt a key example of industrial upgrading in emerging markets and offers a differentiated arena for global suppliers. Local manufacturers are innovating to meet domestic needs—developing products like heat-resistant and dust-proof cranes for desert use and container cranes for ports. At the same time, major international brands have established production or service centers in Egypt to serve the market directly.

Suggestions For Choosing an Importing Region For Bridge Cranes 

In a market where local and international players are evenly matched, choosing a competent and reliable bridge crane manufacturer is particularly critical. Currently, bridge crane suppliers active in the Egyptian market can be broadly categorized into three groups: local manufacturers, Chinese manufacturers and European brand manufacturers (mainly from Italy and Germany). Products from different sources have their own advantages and limitations in terms of price, technology, service response and certification compliance.

Chinese Crane Manufacturers

Strong price competitiveness, the king of cost-effective, mid-market penetration of the whole region, a wide range of categories, usually with large-scale production capacity, able to meet the demand for emergency orders. Product design flexibility, can be customized according to customer needs.

High performance, mature technology, stable quality, excellent performance in control system, energy efficiency and safety. Representative brand: Keno: offers a wide range of high-performance cranes for higher-end industrial plant applications, focusing on high-efficiency lifting services, outstanding safety record, experienced. 

Egyptian Peripheral Manufacturers

Such as Saudi Arabia, Turkey and other neighboring countries, transportation is more convenient and fast, after-sales support quick response, better understanding of local market demand. Representative brand: BVS Bülbüloğlu Crane Industry (BVS Cranes) is a leader in the field of bridge crane manufacturing in Turkey, focusing on system integration in the heavy industry, with high-end manufacturing and whole-plant lifting solutions.
