Construction material prices in Egypt remained relatively stable on Wednesday, April 22, 2026, with steel and cement costs showing little change from recent levels, according to multiple local business reports.
Reinforcing steel prices ranged between 33,000 and 39,500 Egyptian pounds per ton, with variations observed among major domestic producers. Al-Ahram reported that Bashay steel was trading at 38,000 pounds per ton, while Al-Attal steel was priced at 36,000 pounds per ton and Al-Marakabi steel at 37,000 pounds per ton.
Meanwhile, Egypt 24’s daily market update showed slightly higher benchmark prices for leading brands, with Ezz steel—the most widely used and demanded rebar in the Egyptian market—listed at 46,509 pounds per ton (approximately 47 pounds per kilogram). Bashay steel followed at 45,809 pounds per ton (46 pounds/kg), Al-Attal at 45,209 pounds per ton (45 pounds/kg), and Al-Masryeen steel at 45,009 pounds per ton (45 pounds/kg).
The state-run Local Prices Portal, affiliated with Egypt’s Council of Ministers, confirmed that the average price for investment-grade steel stood at 37,230 pounds per ton on April 22, 2026.
In the cement sector, prices remained steady, with standard Portland cement sold in 50-kilogram bags continuing to reflect typical market rates influenced by production costs, energy prices, and foreign exchange fluctuations. Armored cement remained one of the most commonly used types in domestic construction projects.
Search activity for construction material prices increased significantly on Google on Wednesday, indicating sustained public and industry interest in monitoring building costs across local markets.
The pricing data reflects ongoing stability in Egypt’s construction inputs sector despite broader economic pressures, with traders and contractors relying on daily updates from official portals and private monitoring sites to inform procurement decisions.
