Morocco’s aerospace industry continues to strengthen its position as a key export driver, with the sector generating over 11.8 billion dirhams in revenue during the first five months of 2025—a 10.5% increase compared to the same period last year. According to figures released by the Office des Changes, this growth is largely fueled by robust performance in two of the industry’s main components: assembly and electrical wiring systems (EWIS).
The assembly segment alone contributed 7.65 billion dirhams, marking a 10.3% rise, while the EWIS sector, which focuses on electrical interconnection systems, saw even stronger momentum, jumping 11.3% to reach 4.13 billion. These gains underscore Morocco’s growing role in global aerospace supply chains, especially as international manufacturers seek stable, cost-effective production hubs.
Meanwhile, the phosphate industry—which includes raw phosphate, phosphoric acid, and fertilizers—also posted a significant rebound. Exports in this category surged 18.1% to 36.75 billion dirhams, driven by high global demand for natural and chemical fertilizers. Fertilizer exports alone hit 26.69 billion dirhams, up 14.8%. Phosphoric acid followed with an 18.1% increase to 6.18 billion, and raw phosphate exports soared by nearly 48% to 3.88 billion.
Other mining exports outside the phosphate category grew modestly, rising 3.2% to 2.06 billion dirhams. Exports from miscellaneous industries also performed well, up 13.4% to 13.06 billion dirhams.
However, not all sectors kept pace. The automotive industry—long a pillar of Moroccan manufacturing—saw exports dip by 4%, totaling 64.69 billion dirhams. The electronics and electrical components sector also faltered, with a 7.5% decline to 7.18 billion dirhams, signaling potential headwinds or shifts in global demand.
While some industries face challenges, Morocco’s export landscape remains dynamic, with aerospace and phosphates emerging as critical pillars of resilience and growth in 2025.
