Egypt's glass industry has grown into a vital force in the global market, capitalizing on its strategic location, abundant natural resources, and skilled workforce. With a diverse product range, including flat glass for windows and mirrors, container glass for food and beverage packaging, and specialized glass for construction and automotive uses, Egypt caters to both domestic and international demand. Despite challenges, Egypt can work on its resources, enhancing its potential to become a regional hub for glass.

The Saudi-Egyptian Industrial Investment (SEII) is planning to invest around $20 million in a glass and a textile firm within the coming period via capital increase.
