Falling to a series low
Egypt Wool Production per Capita moved from 113 Gram in 2015 to 103.5 Gram in 2024 (−8.5%), an average of −1% a year. The series high was 113 Gram in 2015 and the low 103.5 Gram in 2024.
What Egypt Wool Production per Capita shows
Egypt Wool Production per Capita was 103.5 Gram in 2024, down 1.1% on 2023. Egypt’s wool production per capita indicator measures domestic wool production relative to population, providing a standardized measure for evaluating population-adjusted agricultural output. Between 2015 and 2024, Egypt recorded a generally declining trend in wool production per capita, with the indicator decreasing gradually throughout the period despite a small recovery in 2021.
A 8.5% peak-to-trough swing
The gap between the series high (2015) and low (2024) is 9.56 Gram. The sharpest single-year move was −2.2% in 2018.
Ranks 11 of 19 countries covered
Among the 19 countries in this dataset, Egypt ranks 11 for 2024, behind New Zealand (25,011 Gram) and Uruguay (6,794 Gram). The global figure for 2024 is 207.8 Gram, so Egypt is below it.

Data definition
Inclusions and exclusions
Wool Production per Capita — Wool production per capita refers to the annual quantity of wool produced within a country divided by its population, providing a population-adjusted measure of wool production. The indicator is presented in Our World in Data as a country-level time series, allowing comparisons of wool production per person across countries and years. The selected dataset covers the period from 2015 to 2024.
The data includes wool production and population figures used to calculate wool production per capita for individual countries. The indicator covers wool classified as an agricultural product and reflects domestic production relative to the population of each country. The dataset includes annual observations for the selected countries and period and can be used to compare population-adjusted wool output across different geographic regions.
The data excludes wool imports, exports, trade values, prices, revenues, and domestic consumption. It does not measure the value of wool production or distinguish between wool produced for different end uses. The indicator also does not directly measure sheep populations, wool yields per animal, processing activity, or downstream textile production. Differences in production per capita may reflect changes in wool output, population, or both.
About this indicator
Wool Production per Capita — Wool production per capita refers to the annual quantity of wool produced within a country divided by its population, providing a population-adjusted measure of wool production. The indicator is presented in Our World in Data as a country-level time series, allowing comparisons of wool production per person across countries and years. The selected dataset covers the period from 2015 to 2024.
The indicator stood at 113.03 units per person in 2015. It declined to 112.28 in 2016 and 112.09 in 2017 before falling to 109.61 in 2018. The downward movement continued in 2019 and 2020, when production per capita reached 108.12 and 107.03 units per person, respectively. In 2021, the indicator increased slightly to 107.64.
Following this brief recovery, Egypt’s wool production per capita declined again to 105.77 units per person in 2022 and 104.63 in 2023. It reached 103.47 units per person in 2024. The figures therefore indicate a relatively consistent long-term reduction, with only limited annual fluctuations.
From 113.03 units per person in 2015 to 103.47 in 2024, Egypt’s wool production per capita declined by approximately 8.5%. The reduction indicates that population-adjusted wool output was lower at the end of the reported period than at the beginning. The gradual nature of the decline suggests limited volatility compared with markets experiencing larger annual changes.
Wool production per capita is useful for assessing agricultural production while accounting for population differences. Egypt’s data provide insight into the longer-term movement of population-adjusted wool output and support comparisons with other Asian and regional agricultural markets. Overall, the indicator shows a gradual weakening of wool production per capita over the reported period, with the 2021 increase representing only a temporary improvement.
