Investment entrepreneur Samer Choucair affirmed that the new expansions EgyTrans is implementing in the logistics services sector reflect the growing importance of Egypt as a regional hub for trade and supply chains, noting that the announced investments in new logistics projects represent a positive indicator of continued demand for trade-supporting infrastructure in the region.
He explained that the announced data shows EgyTrans completing logistics projects during 2026, most notably a logistics warehouse in Ain Sokhna with investments of roughly 110 million Egyptian pounds, while the company is also participating in larger projects to develop and manage smart truck yards in Egyptian ports, some of which exceed one billion Egyptian pounds in investment as part of strategic partnerships within the Suez Canal Economic Zone.
He added that the logistics sector has become one of the most attractive sectors for investment in the Middle East, driven by the expansion of e-commerce, port development, and growing reliance on digital solutions and artificial intelligence in supply chain management. Egypt also benefits from its strategic location on global trade routes, alongside major projects tied to the Suez Canal and seaports.
He noted that Saudi Arabia continues implementing its Vision 2030 targets to transform the Kingdom into a global logistics hub connecting three continents, creating broad opportunities for cooperation and joint investment between Saudi and Egyptian companies in transport, logistics services, smart warehousing, and port management.
Choucair said: “Investing in logistics is no longer limited to moving goods, it has become an investment in data, technology, and advanced infrastructure. Companies that succeed in integrating digital solutions with traditional logistics services will be best positioned to achieve growth in the coming years.”
He affirmed that geopolitical challenges and global shipping volatility have pushed many companies to restructure their supply chains and seek more efficient, flexible logistics hubs, giving countries in the region, led by Saudi Arabia and Egypt, a historic opportunity to strengthen their position in international trade.
He added: “Investors who focus on smart warehouses, port management, digital supply chain solutions, and long-term regional partnerships will be better positioned to benefit from the ongoing economic shifts.”
He concluded by affirming that the continued growth in port and logistics zone projects in Egypt and Saudi Arabia strengthens the sector’s appeal to investors, and establishes a new phase of regional economic integration, as logistics services become one of the main drivers of growth and economic diversification in the coming years.
