By the end of February 2025, Morocco’s aerospace exports had surged past 4.51 billion dirhams, marking a 10.3% increase compared to the same period the previous year. According to the Foreign Exchange Office, this growth was fueled largely by gains in aircraft assembly, which climbed 8.6% to reach 2.86 billion dirhams, and in electrical wiring systems (EWIS), which saw a sharper rise of 13.6%, totaling 1.63 billion dirhams.
The phosphate industry also posted solid results, with exports rising 6.3% to hit 11.48 billion dirhams. Natural and chemical fertilizers made up the bulk of that figure, accounting for 8.16 billion dirhams. Phosphoric acid followed with 2.15 billion, while raw phosphate contributed 1.17 billion.
However, not all sectors fared as well. Automotive exports dropped by 8.2%, falling to 23.58 billion dirhams. This decline was driven mainly by a sharp fall in vehicle manufacturing, which lost 2.45 billion dirhams, and a dip in the so-called “external” segment, down 131 million dirhams. A modest uptick in wiring exports, up 28 million dirhams, wasn’t enough to offset the overall loss.
Agricultural and agri-food exports also declined, slipping 4% to 17.42 billion dirhams. The electronics and electrical sector performed even worse, registering a 15% drop to 2.68 billion dirhams.
The one sector that held steady was textiles and leather, which posted a modest 0.8% increase, bringing total exports to 7.36 billion dirhams.
These mixed results reflect the uneven performance across Morocco’s key export industries, in a global environment still grappling with supply chain disruptions and commercial uncertainty.
