In Egypt, the Baseball Market within the Sports Market is experiencing slow growth in its Merchandise Market.

The negligible growth rate is impacted by these factors, hindering overall growth in the market.
Customer preferences: Consumers in Egypt are increasingly turning to online shopping for baseball merchandise due to convenience and accessibility. This trend is driven by the rising popularity of e-commerce platforms, especially among younger consumers. Furthermore, the demand for officially licensed merchandise is on the rise as more Egyptian baseball fans are following international leagues and teams. This shift in consumer behavior is also fueled by the growing middle-class population in Egypt, which has more disposable income to spend on leisure and entertainment activities such as baseball. With a thriving Sports market in Egypt, the baseball merchandise market is expected to continue to grow in the coming years.

As a result, there is a limited demand for baseball merchandise and a smaller market size. However, recent years have seen an increase in the popularity of baseball, which has led to a more diverse range of merchandise being made available. Additionally, the governments push for tourism has also had a positive impact on the market, as baseball events and tournaments have become a tourist attraction. The market is also shaped by cultural factors such as the traditional dress code, where wearing hats or caps is not common, leading to a lower demand for baseball merchandise compared to other markets.
