Morocco’s digital exports reach $26.2 billion amid sector overhaul

Morocco’s digital services and outsourcing exports generated 26.2 billion dirhams in 2024, according to preliminary figures released by the Office des Changes. While the growth was modest—just 0.2% compared to the previous year—it points to the continued resilience of a sector that is becoming central to the country’s economic strategy.

This slight increase comes amid a broader effort to modernize the tools used to measure the sector’s performance. A joint initiative led by the Office des Changes and the Ministry of Digital Transition and Administrative Reform is currently underway. The project is a key component of the “Digital Morocco 2030” strategy, which aims to boost the competitiveness of Morocco’s digital exports and position the country as a regional hub for tech and outsourcing services.

A breakdown by subsector shows that IT and technology services (commonly referred to as ITO) remain the backbone of the industry, accounting for over 40% of total revenue. Customer relationship management services—especially call centers—make up 37.4%. Offshore engineering services (ESO) represent 13.2%, while business process outsourcing (BPO) activities contribute 8.9%. Knowledge process outsourcing (KPO), which includes more complex and high-value services, trails far behind at just 0.2%.

In the first half of 2025, the sector brought in 13.4 billion dirhams, up from 12.9 billion during the same period in 2024—an increase of 3.5%. This mid-year momentum suggests a potentially stronger finish to the year, especially as efforts to improve sector monitoring and support ramp up.

The overhaul of statistical indicators is not just a technical upgrade—it reflects Morocco’s broader push to align its digital economy with global standards and track its progress more accurately. As digital transformation becomes a cornerstone of national development, fine-tuning how the country measures its digital exports is seen as essential for informed policymaking and international competitiveness.
