2025 Developments
Alcoholic drinks in Morocco demonstrated a robust and resilient trajectory in 2025, outperforming much of the Middle East and Africa due to a surge in tourism and a favourable economic climate, as evidenced by real GDP growth of 4% and a total volume of 166 million litres. The market is notably attractive for investment and innovation, given the pronounced shift towards premiumisation in hospitality venues and the rapid expansion of alcohol-free alternatives, which are catalysing both volume and value gains. However, escalating excise duties and persistent inflation are intensifying price sensitivity and deepening the divide between value-driven domestic staples and high-end imported offerings, leaving mid-tier options increasingly marginalised. Brands seeking sustained success should prioritise partnerships with luxury hospitality, invest in flavour and packaging innovation for both premium and nolo products, and respond to polarising consumer behaviour by optimising pack sizes and value engineering, while leveraging omnichannel strategies that accommodate regulatory and cultural constraints in distribution.
