Moroccan Vehicle Market in 2025 is accelerating. Full-year figures grew 24.3%, with Peugeot and Volkswagen reporting major gains. BYD showed major gains in 15th while driving EV sector to 5% of total.

Economic Environment

In 2025, Morocco is projected to grow by 4.5%, driven primarily by strong domestic demand, with household consumption supported by rising real incomes and easing inflation, and investment boosted by large infrastructure projects linked to major international sporting events. The agricultural sector has rebounded after the 2023–2024 drought, tourism is expanding rapidly, and inflation has fallen to historically low levels, allowing the central bank to keep interest rates unchanged.

Looking beyond 2025, growth is expected to remain solid at 4.2% in 2026 and 4.0% in 2027, underpinned by continued consumption, infrastructure investment, and tourism, though moderating slightly as inflationary pressures re-emerge. Fiscal consolidation is set to continue, with the deficit gradually narrowing toward 3% of GDP by 2027 and public debt declining, strengthening macroeconomic stability. However, robust domestic demand amid subdued global conditions is widening the trade deficit, while risks remain tilted to the downside due to climate vulnerability in agriculture, geopolitical tensions, and global trade uncertainty, highlighting the need for continued structural reforms to improve competition, reduce informality, and support inclusive growth.
