Morocco’s industrial production index, excluding oil refining, rose 7% in the second quarter of 2025 compared with the same period a year earlier, according to the country’s High Commission for Planning.
The growth was driven largely by higher output in several key sectors: chemicals rose 9.3%, non-metallic mineral products 10.8%, food industries 9%, tobacco products 19.1%, automobiles 5.6%, electrical equipment 16.3% and mining 17.2%.
In contrast, production fell in some industries. Clothing dropped 11.6%, other transportation equipment 14.5%, leather and footwear 9.1% and rubber and plastics 3.2%.
Meanwhile, the index for extractive industries increased 16.8%, reflecting a 17.4% jump in “other extractive industries” and a slight 0.1% rise in ferrous metals.
Electric power production also climbed 9.4% during the quarter, the agency said.
