Manufacturing firms in Morocco anticipate a rise in production during the second quarter of 2025, according to the High Commission for Planning.
This forecast is driven by expected growth in the automotive, chemical, food, and non-metallic product industries.
Employment in the sector is projected to remain stable overall. Meanwhile, extractive industries expect a decline in output due to lower phosphate production, though employment is also expected to remain unchanged.
In the energy sector, production is forecast to rise thanks to improvements in electricity, gas, and steam supply. However, a slight drop in employment is anticipated. Environmental industries, particularly water treatment and distribution, are expected to maintain stable production and staffing levels.
For Q1 2025, manufacturing output saw a slight increase, though firms in the textile and rubber sectors reported downturns. About 37% of manufacturers faced raw material supply challenges, mostly related to imports, and 23% reported tight cash flow — rising to 44% in the leather and footwear sector
