Egypt's digital advertising market is experiencing rapid growth, with in-game advertising emerging as a significant sector. By 2026, the total digital ad spend is expected to reach £1.2 billion, driven by increased smartphone penetration and mobile internet access. In-game advertising revenue is projected to hit £180 million, reflecting the expanding gaming community and advertisers' interest in engaging younger audiences.
The high mobile ad penetration rate of 75% indicates that most Egyptian consumers are exposed to in-game ads, making it an attractive platform for brands. With an average gaming time of 1 hour 45 minutes daily among youth and an active gamer base of 25 million, Egypt presents a promising landscape for digital advertisers looking to capitalize on the gaming sector's growth.
