    Analyst Opinion

    Egypt, like many other countries, is currently experiencing the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. The country has a population of over 100 million people, making it one of the most populous countries in Africa. As the world races to develop and distribute vaccines to combat the virus, the COVID-19 vaccines market in Egypt is also developing.

    Customer preferences:
    Egyptians have shown a willingness to receive the COVID-19 vaccine, with many expressing eagerness to get vaccinated as soon as possible. This is largely due to the high number of cases and deaths in the country, which has created a sense of urgency among the population. Additionally, the government has been actively promoting the vaccine, which has helped to increase public confidence in its safety and efficacy.

    Trends in the market:
    Currently, the COVID-19 vaccine market in Egypt is dominated by the Chinese Sinopharm vaccine and the British-Swedish AstraZeneca vaccine. These vaccines have been approved for emergency use in the country, and the government has secured millions of doses to vaccinate the population. Other vaccines, such as the Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna vaccines, have not yet been approved for use in Egypt.

    Local special circumstances:
    One of the unique challenges facing the COVID-19 vaccine market in Egypt is the country's large population and limited healthcare infrastructure. This has made it difficult to distribute the vaccine to everyone who needs it, particularly in rural areas. Additionally, there is a lack of public trust in the healthcare system, which has made some people hesitant to get vaccinated.

    Underlying macroeconomic factors:
    Egypt's economy has been hit hard by the pandemic, with tourism and other industries suffering significant losses. The government has allocated significant resources to combat the virus and distribute the vaccine, but the economic impact of the pandemic may continue to be felt for some time. Additionally, Egypt is a lower-middle-income country, which means that affordability may be a factor in the distribution and uptake of the vaccine.

    Coronavirus (COVID-19): vaccines and vaccination campaign

    As of March 2023, more than 13 billion COVID-19 vaccine doses had been administered worldwide. Wide-spread vaccine availability, increasing herd immunity, and lower case numbers led to renewed hope and a feeling of normality in 2023. However, especially during the winter seasons and with the potential emergence of new variants of the virus (like Omicron in 2021-2022), tracking of coronavirus cases repeatedly becomes a focus for the public. Thus, there is a level of uncertainty about what developments the winter season 2023/2024 might bring.
