Morocco’s industrial, energy, and mining sectors saw robust growth between April and June 2025, marking a strong performance in the second quarter, according to newly released data from the High Commission for Planning. Manufacturing output—excluding oil refining—rose by 7% compared to the same period last year, pointing to a broader recovery across key industries.
Driving this upswing were several standout sectors. Chemical manufacturing recorded a 9.3% increase, while the production of non-metallic mineral products jumped by 10.8%. The food industry also posted solid gains, up by 9%. Even more impressive was the surge in electrical equipment manufacturing, which expanded by 16.3%, and metallurgy, which climbed 17.2%. Tobacco product manufacturing posted the biggest leap, rising 19.1%. Morocco’s automotive sector continued its upward trajectory as well, with a 5.6% year-over-year increase.
However, not all areas shared in the momentum. The textile and garment industry struggled, with production falling 11.6%. The category of other transport equipment experienced an even steeper drop of 14.5%. Leather and footwear declined by 9.1%, while rubber and plastic product manufacturing slipped by 3.2%.
On the mining front, extractive industries posted significant growth of 16.8%, largely fueled by a 17.4% rise in activity outside of metallic minerals. Metallic mineral production remained flat, registering only a marginal uptick of 0.1%.
Electricity production also saw a healthy rebound, rising 9.4%, suggesting a broader recovery that cuts across industrial, energy, and mining sectors.
