Highlights
The Egyptian pharmaceutical market is focused on generics. Per capita spending is low, but the
large population means overall sales are worth around $3bn. Out-of-pocket expenditure
accounts for around 75% of pharmaceutical sales. In the long term, increasing affluence and
universal health insurance will boost sales.
Historically, intellectual property rights were not enforced, and firms were able to register
generics/copies using data from the originator companies. Despite some changes, Egypt is on

2. the Watch List of the US Trade Representative due to inadequate enforcement. This means that
companies have been slow to introduce new products.
Egypt has certain key differences from many other markets. For example, the data protection
period for drugs is five years from when the registration application is filed, rather than from the
date of market authorization.
