Morocco’s industrial production index for manufacturing industries excluding oil refining rose 7 percent in the second quarter of 2025 compared to the same period last year, the High Commission for Planning (HCP) said Tuesday.
The increase was driven by strong growth across several branches: chemicals (+9.3%), non-metallic mineral products (+10.8%), food industries (+9%), tobacco products (+19.1%), automotive (+5.6%), electrical equipment (+16.3%), and metallurgy (+17.2%), according to the HCP’s note on the industrial, energy, and mining production index.
By contrast, clothing fell 11.6%, while other transport equipment (-14.5%), leather and footwear (-9.1%), and rubber and plastics (-3.2%) also declined.
The extractive industries index rose 16.8%, supported by a 17.4% increase in various extractive products and a slight 0.1% rise in metallic ores. Meanwhile, electricity production recorded a 9.4% increase, reflecting broader industrial and energy demand growth.
