Abstract

This study explores how influencer marketing affects consumer behaviour within the Egyptian food industry, focusing on the customer’s perspective. A quantitative approach was adopted, using an online questionnaire targeting Egyptian consumers who engage with food-related brands and companies on social media. Convenience sampling was utilized, with a total sample size of 400 respondents, out of which 384 valid responses were analyzed. The data were processed using IBM SPSS v22 for Windows. The results indicate a strong relationship between influencer marketing and shifts in consumer behaviour, particularly in how customers perceive and choose food products. The model demonstrated a strong predictive capacity for consumer choices driven by influencer endorsements. This study recommends that Egyptian food companies incorporate influencer marketing as a core strategy to influence purchasing behaviour and build deeper customer relationships. However, this research is confined to the Egyptian food sector, limiting the generalizability to other industries.
