Agadir – Morocco’s automotive industry has continued to strengthen its position as the country’s leading export sector, with exports exceeding MAD 77 billion ($8.216 billion) by the end of May 2026, marking a 15.9% increase compared to the same period last year, according to the latest data from Morocco’s Exchange Office.
The Office attributed this positive performance to strong growth in the sector’s construction and cable segments.
Exports from the construction segment climbed 27.1% to MAD 31.30 billion ($3.339 billion), while cable exports rose 12.2% to MAD 28.89 billion ($3.082 billion), it documented, noting that this reflects sustained demand for Morocco’s automotive manufacturing output.
The country’s aerospace industry also posted solid gains, with exports increasing 14.2% year-on-year to MAD 13.85 billion ($1.477 billion).
According to the Exchange Office, the sector benefited from a 19.7% rise in assembly exports and a 3.6% increase in exports of Electrical Wiring Interconnection Systems (EWIS).
Exports from Morocco’s agriculture and agri-food sector meanwhile recorded more moderate growth, rising 3.4% during the first five months of the year.
However, several key export sectors registered declines.
Exports of textiles and leather fell 9.1%, while electronics and electricity exports dropped 9.8%. The phosphates and derivatives sector also recorded an 11.2% decrease compared to the same period in 2025.
Despite these mixed performances across industries, Morocco’s total exports continued to expand.
The Exchange Office reported that overall exports reached MAD 211.41 billion ($22.559 billion) by the end of May, representing a 5.8% increase year-on-year.
The figures further reinforce the automotive sector’s role as a key driver of Morocco’s export growth as the country continues to expand its industrial ecosystem and consolidate its integration into global manufacturing supply chains.
