Morocco’s aerospace sector witnessed significant export growth in the first six months of 2025, reaching over 14.13 billion dirhams—a rise of 8.8% compared to the same period in 2024. This development was attributed to an increase in assembly sales valued at 728 million dirhams, along with a 427 million dirham growth in exports of electrical wiring interconnection systems (EWIS).
Phosphate exports and its derivatives also improved by 18.9%, totaling 46.56 billion dirhams. This growth benefitted from a rise in sales of natural and chemical fertilizers by 4.902 billion dirhams, as well as an increase of 1.63 billion dirhams in raw phosphate exports, alongside phosphoric acid which recorded a growth of 857 million dirhams.
The agriculture and food industry sector grew by 3.2%, bringing its total exports to 48.55 billion dirhams. Additionally, other industries saw their exports rise by 13.1%, reaching 15.68 billion dirhams, reflecting positive dynamics in some high-value-added production sectors.
Conversely, exports from the electronics and electrical sector declined by 7.8%, stabilizing at 8.59 billion dirhams. Moreover, other mineral extracts saw a decrease of 4.5%, amounting to 2.55 billion dirhams. The textiles and leather sector experienced a 4% drop, reaching 22.52 billion dirhams, while automobile exports decreased by 3.6% to 77.6 billion dirhams. This trend underscores a mixed performance across various export sectors during the first half of the current year.
