The rise of e‑commerce across the MENA region has placed Egypt at the center of a logistics transformation particularly for Gulf-based platforms seeking to enhance fulfillment speed and last-mile capabilities. One of the most prominent developments is Jumia’s new 27,000 m² logistics center in Cairo, strategically positioned to serve both local demand and cross-border Gulf deliveries.
This expansion represents more than a real estate milestone. It reflects a growing trend of infrastructure investment targeting digital retail, where Egypt’s central geographic position and improving regulatory environment are attracting regional players looking to scale fast and cost-efficiently.
Egypt’s increasingly dynamic logistics ecosystem also supports Gulf-based firms operating in food systems, consumer goods, and fast-moving items. According to grain.org, the UAE’s growing role in Egyptian logistics extends from port development to food warehousing, creating a seamless corridor from Egyptian producers to Gulf consumers.
For logistics and fulfillment providers like ZUGOOO, this signals a clear opportunity:
- Serve as the local arm for regional e‑commerce platforms
- Handle QA, warehousing, and fulfillment for brands targeting GCC markets
- Leverage Egypt’s cost-effective operational base to streamline exports
The surge in Egypt’s e‑commerce logistics infrastructure is aligned with larger Gulf trends, including digital economy strategies and cross-border retail growth. With rising platform demand and logistics sophistication, companies that can bridge product readiness, packaging standards, and shipping coordination like ZUGOOO stand to gain significantly.
