Construction Sector Thrives: Cement Sales Rise by 9.8% in the First Half of 2025
According to the Directorate of Studies and Financial Forecasts, the construction sector in Morocco has maintained a positive performance during the first half of 2025, driven by a significant increase in cement sales, which grew by 9.8% compared to 1.1% during the same period last year.
The directorate attributed this improvement in its latest economic report to a resurgence in delivery operations across several vital sectors related to construction, including ready-mix concrete, which saw a sales increase of 19.2%, and precast concrete, which rose by 17.7%. Additionally, the distribution sector recorded a growth of 6.1%, while infrastructure rose by 6.4%.
On the financial side, data revealed a growth in outstanding mortgage loans of 3.2% at the end of the first five months of this year, compared to a growth of 1.4% during the same period in 2024.
This improvement reflects the development of housing loans, which registered a rise of 2.5%, up from 1.5%, while real estate recovery loans grew by 6.9%, compared to 4% during the same timeframe last year.
These indicators suggest an ongoing recovery in the construction and real estate sectors, reflecting a positive dynamic in demand and investment within this vital area of the national economy.
