2025 Developments
Retail in Morocco demonstrates strong momentum, outpacing many regional peers by recording a 4% increase in value sales in 2025 and benefiting from a stable economic backdrop with real GDP growth at 4% and inflation at 0.7%. The environment remains highly attractive for both local and international players due to rising disposable incomes, urbanisation, and a growing middle class, all of which are driving demand for more sophisticated retail formats and supporting the expansion of both digital and physical channels. Success in this environment depends on aligning with evolving consumer expectations for convenience, value, and digital experiences, while maintaining operational agility and investing in technology, store innovation, and locally relevant propositions to capture emerging growth opportunities and respond to increasing competition from both discounters and e-commerce platforms.

Retail
Retail is the sale of new and used goods to consumers from a business for personal or household consumption from retail outlets, kiosks, market stalls, vending, direct selling and e-commerce. Retail is the aggregation of Retail Offline and Retail E-Commerce. Excludes specialist retailers of motor vehicles, motorcycles, vehicle parts. Also excludes fuel sales, foodservice sales, rental transactions, wholesale sales (e.g. Cash and Carry), and sales through cannabis dispensaries in markets where cannabis is sold legally. Sales value excluding or including VAT/Sales Tax. Retail also excludes the informal retail sector. Informal retailing is retail trade which is not declared to the tax authorities. Informal retailing encompasses (a) sales generated by unregistered and unlicensed retailers, i.e. retailers operating illegally, and (b) any proportion of sales generated by a registered and licensed retailer that is not declared to the tax authorities. Unregistered and unlicensed retailers operate predominantly (although not exclusively) as street hawkers or operate open market stalls, as these channels are harder for the authorities to monitor than permanent outlets. Activities in the illegal market, which is usually understood to refer to trade in illegal, counterfeit or stolen merchandise, are included within our definition of informal retailing. Activities in the “grey market”, which is usually understood to refer to trade in legal merchandise that is sold through unauthorized channels – for example cigarettes bought legally in another country, legally imported, but sold at lower prices than in authorized channels – will be included as informal retailing if no tax is paid on sale by the retailer. However if the retailer pays tax – for example on cigarettes bought legally in another country but sold at a lower price than standard – the sale is included within formal retail.
