Casablanca – Tanger Med confirmed its position as one of Morocco’s leading industrial and logistics hubs in 2025, recording strong growth across its ecosystem. Driven by the automotive industry, expanding logistics services, and sustained inflows of private investment, the platform continues to reinforce its role in supporting the country’s industrial competitiveness and export capacity.

According to consolidated data, the industrial activity linked to Tanger Med generated a total business volume of $19.38 billion in 2025, representing an annual increase of 8%. This performance reflects both the maturity of the industrial base established around the port and its continued ability to attract international investors and diversify its sectoral footprint.

Automotive sector remains central to growth

The automotive industry continues to act as the backbone of Tanger Med’s industrial ecosystem. In 2025, it generated approximately $12.89 billion, accounting for the largest share of total industrial revenue. The sector recorded a year-on-year growth of 6.8%, supported by strong export demand, integrated supply chains, and the presence of global manufacturers and equipment suppliers.

This sustained expansion reinforces the role of automotive production not only as a driver of industrial output but also as a catalyst for related activities, including subcontracting, component manufacturing, and logistics services.

Logistics and diversification support expansion

Logistics maintained its strategic importance within the Tanger Med model, generating around $5.20 billion in revenue, an increase of 9.6% compared to 2024. The sector plays a critical role in ensuring efficient trade flows, supported by the port’s advanced infrastructure and its connectivity to global shipping routes.

At the same time, diversification into non-automotive industries is gaining momentum. Sectors such as textiles and aeronautics generated a combined $1.31 billion, marking a strong growth rate of 19%. This trend highlights a gradual shift toward a more balanced and resilient industrial base, with increasing emphasis on higher value-added activities.

Strong investment inflows reflect investor confidence

Private investment remained a key driver of Tanger Med’s growth in 2025. Total private investment reached approximately $1.77 billion, underscoring continued confidence from international and domestic operators in the platform’s integrated model.

Within the industrial zones managed by Tanger Med, 84 new projects were approved during the year. These projects represent a combined investment of about $505 million and are expected to create nearly 11,800 jobs. The steady flow of new industrial projects reflects the attractiveness of the platform, particularly for export-oriented industries seeking proximity to European and global markets.

Several international companies have established operations within the zones, contributing to the strengthening of industrial clusters, especially in the automotive sector.

Expansion into advanced industries

The development of high-value industries is also accelerating, particularly within the Mohammed VI Tangier Tech City. In 2025, the site recorded 11 new industrial projects, representing total investments of approximately $1.26 billion and the creation of 3,882 jobs.

These projects focus on strategic sectors such as battery manufacturing, advanced materials, metallurgy, and automotive electronics. This orientation reflects Morocco’s broader ambition to move up the industrial value chain and position itself in emerging global industries linked to energy transition and advanced manufacturing.

A large-scale industrial ecosystem

Tanger Med’s industrial and logistics platform now covers close to 3,000 hectares and hosts more than 1,500 companies operating across a wide range of sectors, including automotive, aeronautics, textiles, electronics, logistics, and renewable energy.

The ecosystem supports around 145,000 jobs, making it one of the largest employment hubs in the country. Beyond direct employment, the platform also generates significant indirect economic activity through supply chains, subcontracting networks, and service providers.

Impact on exports and national economy

The export-oriented nature of Tanger Med’s industrial base plays a crucial role in Morocco’s external trade performance. A large share of the goods produced within the platform is destined for international markets, contributing to export revenues and improving the country’s trade balance.

At the same time, the ecosystem encourages the development of local value chains, enabling Moroccan companies to integrate into global production networks. This contributes to technology transfer, skills development, and increased industrial integration at the national level.

Outlook: sustained growth with strategic priorities

Looking ahead, Tanger Med is expected to continue its expansion through ongoing investments in infrastructure, digitalization, and human capital. Authorities overseeing the platform are focusing on attracting more projects in high-value sectors while improving environmental sustainability.

Key priorities for the coming years include the development of green energy solutions, the promotion of circular economy practices, and the strengthening of industrial resilience in the face of global economic fluctuations.

While external conditions may influence the pace of growth, the strong performance recorded in 2025 provides a solid foundation for future development. Tanger Med’s integrated approach—combining port operations, logistics, and industrial activity—positions it as a key driver of Morocco’s long-term industrial strategy and global competitiveness.
