Analysis of the Evolution of the Construction Sector in Morocco: Perspectives and Dynamics
The Building and Public Works (BTP) sector plays a fundamental role in the Moroccan economy, contributing significantly to growth, employment, and investment. This analysis provides an overview of the sector’s performance over the past few years.
Growth and Employment
In 2021, the construction sector employed approximately 1,206,464 people, with a net creation of 71,000 new jobs compared to 2020. This growth continued in 2022, where the sector accounted for 11.2% of total national employment.
Investments and Added Value
The sector’s Gross Fixed Capital Formation (GFCF) increased by 17% in 2021, while its added value grew by 12%. In 2022, added value continued to rise by 8.3%, reflecting a strong post-pandemic recovery.
Growth Drivers and Challenges
The sector’s dynamism is driven by several key factors:
- Large infrastructure projects, such as highways, ports, and railway developments.
- Rapid urbanization, boosting demand for housing and public infrastructure.
- Foreign investments, particularly in renewable energy and real estate.
Despite these positive prospects, the sector faces major challenges:
