Morocco produced 1 million cars in 2025 to maintain its position as the largest vehicle maker in Africa, industry and trade minister Ryad Mezzour said.
Mezzour said Morocco achieved the target ahead of schedule and is on the verge of matching France for the number of cars manufactured per year.
“This month, the number of cars manufactured in Morocco hit the 1 million mark through 2025 thanks to the heavy investments channelled into this sector,” the minister said on the government Instagram account.
This compares to 560,000 produced in 2024 and 250,000 in 2020, according to a report by research company CEIC, citing data from the International Organization of Motor Vehicle Manufacturers.
Mezzour also said domestic components in locally produced cars had reached 70 percent.
The minister forecast that Morocco’s car and auto part exports market will soon be worth $40 billion annually with the projected surge in the number of domestically produced cars.
The value of Morocco’s automotive industry is set to rise after French auto giant Renault announced plans to produce electric vehicles and expand its facilities in Morocco in line with a new agreement with the government.
