The Egyptian government, through the Ministry of Communications and Information Technology (MCIT) and the IT Industry Development Agency (ITIDA), has taken an active role in developing ICT capabilities within the country and positioning ICT as a cornerstone of economic development and foreign investment.

The Egyptian ICT sector’s contribution to GDP is 5.8% in 2023 - 2024, reaching $346 billion. In 2025, over 180 export-oriented firms, employing 145,000 workers, generated ICT exports of $3.7 billion annually. The local-facing IT sector, meanwhile, employed a further 130,000 people in this period, with the goal to increase this number to 550,000 by 2026.

Why Work With Egyptian IT Companies

Egypt has a broad base of skilled labor that is multilingual across English, German, French, and Arabic. This base makes Egypt an attractive and cost-effective market with minimal communication barriers to provide outsourced services to Western, Asian, and Middle Eastern markets. Based on these resources, Egyptian IT companies and web agencies located there are considered accessible and gain an advantage in the regional market.

What to Be Aware of When Working With Egyptian IT Companies? 

Due to the fact that Egypt is known more for cheap prices for web and software services rather than for IT companies, the latter didn’t have the chance to make themselves a name and consolidate a reputation. 

Since the foreign companies offer a good price for the Egyptian IT workforce, the local web and software agencies have to work with what they pay for. And this may be a challenge for foreign clients who seek quality more than anything else. 

How Reliable Are Egyptian IT Companies

In terms of reliability in the region, Egyptian IT companies are mostly considered trustworthy, mostly. The specific region makes companies from each country unique, and in Egypt’s case, potential foreign clients can rely on the Egyptian skilled workforce, well-developed business environment, and also, Egyptian companies provide competitive services. 

How Does the Egyptian IT Industry Relate to the Neighboring Countries?

Egyptian IT companies are considered more and more competitive in the regional digital market. The credits for this performance are mostly given to a continuously developing IT infrastructure and industry that managed to bring the IT sector to the level of a vital component of the national economy. 

Also, another important factor that contributes to the Egyptian IT sector's competitiveness is the way the region is divided into subsector leaders. While Israel is well known for providing high-quality cybersecurity solutions on the international market, and Saudi Arabia makes the most of the website in the region, Egypt provides software and mobile applications that are considered among the best in the region. 

All in all, Egypt is a promising destination for both outsourcing and B2B relations in the region and is one of the pretenders to the overall IT regional leadership.

Mobile app development is the process of creating mobile apps for popular mobile operating systems like Android and iOS. 

There are about 7 billion smartphones worldwide, meaning that more than 85% of the world’s population has a mobile device at their disposal to perform various tasks online or offline.

Do Businesses Need Mobile Apps? The Answer is Obvious

Users are currently browsing and using different platforms and channels (AI chatbots, search engines, social media, email, etc.) to make a decision and ultimately purchase a product/service. Mobile devices became a significant part of their lives, so businesses need to adapt and deliver solutions for different kinds of devices and operating systems.

At minimum, businesses would need to offer a mobile app listed on Play Market (for Android) or App Store (for iOS), or offer a mobile first user experience on their websites.

The reality is that more than half of the companies don’t have a mobile app yet, or are just planning to develop one.

According to the latest survey on mobile apps conducted by TechBehmoths, 62% of businesses don’t have a mobile app and don’t plan to develop one, while around 19% of businesses don’t have one, but are planning to create one in the future, and 30% of businesses have a mobile app.

Of those firms that have one, the most popular mobile application types are the following:

• Cross-platforms mobile apps - when mobile apps are coded once and compatible with multiple mobile operating systems like Android and iOS

• Native apps - when mobile apps are specifically created for iOS, Android or any other mobile operating system

• PWA (progressive web apps) - these are web applications that provide a mobile app like experience on web browsers (desktop or mobile)

Companies can benefit from mobile apps in multiple ways. Here are the main advantages:

• Customer acquisition - there are billions of smartphone users worldwide, so it’s essential to reach your customers on the devices they use

• Revenue growth - mobile apps provide an extra channel to grow your revenue. With the rise of mobile banking, payments and transactions are not happening solely on desktops devices anymore. Digital commerce spend is expected to reach around $34 Trillion by 2029 (source)

• Brand visibility - mobile apps offer a consistent channel for brand awareness and marketing

• Internal operations - some companies choose the convenience of mobile apps to run internal operations like education, onboarding, HR, logs/checks, etc.

• Customer service - serving customers via mobile apps might be the fastest and most efficient way to keep them happy

• Customer retention - mobile app push notifications is possibly the fastest way to keep clients engaged and offer promotions

• Availability - mobile apps are there for users 24/7

Having a website might not be enough to acquire new customers and serve existing ones. Today's reality is that pretty much everyone is online and using a smartphone device for both entertainment and work.

Mobile apps will inevitably become a priority for most businesses in the next couple of years.

Companies have the option to build mobile apps in house or hire mobile app development providers. For less complex projects, low-code or no-code app tools might be worth considering.

If you have a mobile app project and don’t know where to start, or have an established business and need to expand by launching a mobile app, TechBehmoths offers an easy and straightforward Project Submission tool.
