The Moroccan Association of Exporters (ASMEX) has announced a strategic plan to double the number of exporting companies in Morocco by 2030, aiming to increase from approximately 10,000 to 20,000 firms. The initiative, reported by Moroccan media on July 14, 2026, seeks to broaden the export base and enhance the country's economic competitiveness.
According to ASMEX officials, the plan focuses on supporting small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) through training, access to international markets, and improved logistics. The association emphasizes that diversifying exports beyond traditional sectors like agriculture and textiles is crucial for sustainable growth.
Morocco's export sector has seen steady growth in recent years, with key markets including the European Union, Africa, and the Americas. The ASMEX initiative aligns with the country's broader industrial strategy to boost non-traditional exports such as automotive components, aerospace parts, and renewable energy equipment.
Industry experts note that achieving the 2030 target will require significant investment in digital infrastructure and trade facilitation. The Moroccan government has expressed support for the plan, which is expected to create thousands of jobs and reduce the trade deficit.
