The automotive industry is considered as one of the main drivers of todays global economy. The industry spans across the globe, with nearly each country trying to develop the industry and its supply chain within its boundaries. This paper presents a Business Dynamics model that maps the Egyptian Automotive industry, which started as a public industry and then transformed to a market driven private industry. The Egyptian automotive industry focuses on the local Egyptian market, with no current plan for exporting to the global market. Such focus provides the Egyptian automotive industries with challenges that impede its growth. The Business Dynamics model presented in the paper presents an explanation of the current status of the Egyptian Automotive industry. The model is then used to provide insights for the current status of the industry, as well as testing several policy options for stimulating the industrys growth.
