IDA is building the capacity of its Marketing Department in order to deliver the marketing plan and increase industrial investment in selected sectors. In this document IDA proposes the need for defined industrial sector strategies formulated and implemented within a process that goes beyond consultation and provides sustainable dialogue. For Egypt to own highly competitive comparative advantage is not enough: potential investors need to know about this in a language that they can understand and in which they are able to take investment decisions that will make profitable use of Egypt’s advantage. IDA presents this document to all its stakeholders for discussion and to receive their comments so that implementation can begin. STRATEGIC PLAN BACKGROUND The results of the market research study were undertaken over a three-month as a practical exercise in developing the Market Research dept of the IDA’s Marketing General Department. This study is the foundation for the Promotion dept to deliver its marketing plan and begin contacts with potential investors to attract them to a Site Visit. A Site Visit is a key milestone towards attracting an investor to commit to investment in Egypt. Recommendations for the development of an automotive vision and strategy and the infrastructure for its formation, implementation, monitoring and evaluation, and institutional sustainability are delivered in Part 2. The Executive Summary sets out seven principles underlying the Twenty Recommendations contained in the Strategic Plan. IDA is preparing sector marketing plans based on market research for all agreed industrial sectors; recommendations for a proposed Public Private Dialogue (PPD) mechanism are set out in Part 3. Part 4 of this Strategic Plan is the Automotive Investment Marketing Plan for 2008. This has a twofold purpose: firstly as a plan for the Promotion’s dept to take Egypt’s automotive value proposition to the market to attract new investment. Secondly this plan will be used as the basis for developing IDA’s three year marketing plan, due in February. This Executive Summary follows the style of the Strategic Plan: Part 1 Automotive Market Research Study Results Part 2 Automotive Vision and Strategy Recommendations Part 3 Public Private Dialogue Recommendations Part 4 Automotive Investment Marketing Plan Steven Lee Page 4 12/01/2009 PART 1: AUTOMOTIVE MARKET RESEARCH STUDY RESULTS Over the period 2002 – 2006 world demand for vehicles grew at an overall rate of 17% to reach approximately 69,000,000 vehicles. Growth was not evenly spread with passenger car production witnessing phenomenal increases in Asia-Oceania of 50%, and Central and Eastern Europe of over 75%. Egypt’s vehicle assembly remains focused on import-substitution with CKD production taking an ever smaller share of the expanding domestic market. Exports have faltered since 2004 and in 2006 made up approximately 1% of total CKD unit production. Looking forward to the attraction of new investment to this sector Egypt’s attention is focused on those markets to which it is both proximate and has secured
