Morocco is selling more cars and car parts to the world than ever before. The country’s automotive exports reached more than 77 billion dirhams in the first five months of 2026, up 15.9% from the same period last year, according to figures from the Office des Changes reported by MAP.
The strong performance helped lift Morocco’s total exports to 211.41 billion dirhams by the end of May, a 5.8% increase compared with a year earlier.
Car manufacturing led the growth. Exports from the segment rose 27.1% to 31.30 billion dirhams, while wiring exports increased 12.2% to 28.89 billion dirhams.
The figures show the automotive industry remains Morocco’s biggest export sector and one of the country’s strongest economic drivers.
The industry is built around major factories run by Renault in Tangier and Casablanca and Stellantis in Kenitra. Morocco now sources about 65% of the parts used in vehicles from local suppliers, helping strengthen its manufacturing base.
The Stellantis factory in Kenitra is also expanding towards its target capacity of 400,000 vehicles a year, while suppliers such as Yazaki, Sumitomo and Aptiv continue to produce large volumes of wiring for global carmakers.
Morocco’s aerospace industry also grew. Exports rose 14.2% to 13.85 billion dirhams, helped by a 19.7% rise in aircraft assembly and a 3.6% increase in the Electrical Wiring Interconnection System segment.
Morocco is also investing heavily in electric vehicle production. Chinese companies including Gotion High Tech, BTR and Hailiang are building battery and component plants in the country, including a planned 20 GWh battery factory in Kenitra.
Those investments are expected to help Morocco keep growing as Europe shifts towards electric vehicles over the coming years.
