MOROCCAN AEROSPACE : CHARTING A COURSE TOWARDS HIGH VALUE-ADDED GROWTH

Driven by a sustained rise in recent years, Morocco’s aerospace industry has established itself as one of the most structuring pillars of the national economy. Following a phase of rapid expansion, the sector is now entering a cycle of strategic consolidation, opening the way to growth that is more qualitative, more sustainable and increasingly value creating.
Since the Aerospace Meetings Casablanca 2025 – whose eighth edition was held last September and brought together more than 250 companies from 22 countries – announcements of agreements and investment projects have continued to multiply. These dynamics allow Morocco’s aerospace industry to approach 2026 with particularly favourable signals. In an increasingly complex international environment, the Kingdom is asserting itself as a reliable partner, notably thanks to its strategic geographic position, macroeconomic stability and a well-structured industrial framework – thereby reinforcing its status as a reference aerospace hub.
Export figures confirm the sector’s sustained upward momentum. By the end of October 2025, Morocco’s aerospace exports had surpassed MAD 23.65 billion, placing the industry firmly on course to achieve a new annual record. This performance has been driven in particular by the assembly segment, as well as by electrical wiring interconnection systems (EWIS). Between 2014 and 2024, aerospace exports more than tripled, underscoring the solidity of the sector and the strength of its sustained growth dynamics.
Beyond its competitive positioning, Morocco has now established itself as a fully integrated industrial ecosystem, capable of meeting the most exacting international standards. This rise in maturity is underpinned by a set of complementary, well-structured ecosystems spanning assembly and aerostructures, electrical wiring interconnection systems (EWIS), maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO), as well as engineering.
The confidence placed by global aerospace leaders in components manufactured in Morocco illustrates the level of maturity reached by the sector. According to industry experts, every aircraft currently in service worldwide incorporates at least one part produced in the Kingdom. Today, Morocco attracts the full spectrum of key industry players—airframers, engine manufacturers, equipment suppliers and solution developers—and counts major references such as Airbus, Boeing, Bombardier, Safran and Pratt & Whitney among its industrial partners.
At the same time, new German, Swedish and North American investors are showing growing interest in subcontracting and sourcing in Morocco. This momentum is supporting the continued scaling-up of industrial sites across the Kingdom, particularly in assembly, systems, structures and high value-added equipment.
Morocco’s aerospace fabric, which today brings together more than 140 companies and nearly 26,000 jobs – 40% of which are held by women – covers the entire value chain. It stands out for its ability to integrate new programmes, ramp up production rates and continuously expand its range of competencies.
Building on this momentum, efforts are continuing to strengthen local integration, with a particular focus on human capital as a strategic cornerstone of the sector’s development. Training, engineering and the transfer of know-how are already translating into a more highly skilled workforce and an enhanced capacity to support industrial programmes of ever-growing complexity.
This upward trajectory is also driven by innovation and strategic partnerships. In this regard, cooperation agreements have been signed with the International Mohammed VI Academy of Civil Aviation (AIAC), aimed at strengthening research and development as well as innovation capabilities. Against this backdrop, 2026 is emerging as a pivotal milestone, opening a new phase of expansion and ushering in a growth cycle increasingly focused on value creation, innovation and sustainability.
