THE EGYPTIAN FURNITURE INDUSTRY Backed with an old historical culture and reputation worldwide in the production of classic and modern furniture and antique reproduction; the Egyptian furniture industry stands proudly with a long promising vision towards the future. The furniture industry is considered one of the most flourishing industrial sectors in Egypt that was able to triple its exports in less than 4 years starting 2005, while accommodating the furiously growing local market needs. The sector embraces around 200,000 establishments and a highly productive over a one million skilled labor force. Supported by the Egyptian Furniture Export Council (EFEC) and the Chamber of Woodworking and Furniture Industry (CWWFI), the sector is still undergoing an aggressive plan to penetrate new markets; while maintaining its current international market share without losing track of the vast growing local market in terms of real estate communities under construction, satellite cities, mega projects and touristic developments. Currently, Egypt’s menu doesn’t serve only as a world class exquisite furniture source but also a supplier of global space solutions which includes interior and furniture design, as well as space management. In a sprawling and evolving world, the evolution of new Egyptian furniture brands is the mere result of strategically combining “Design, Quality and Price” as a main goal
