Morocco-Germany trade volume exceeds 7.3 billion euros

Preliminary data for 2025 published by Destatis highlight a strong acceleration in trade relations between Morocco and Germany, with total bilateral trade surpassing 7.3 billion euros for the first time.

According to updated foreign trade statistics, commercial exchanges between Rabat and Berlin reached approximately 7.37 billion euros in 2025, marking a significant increase compared to previous years. Trade volume stood at around 4.9 billion euros in 2022 and rose to nearly 6.5 billion euros in 2024, confirming a steady upward trajectory in economic cooperation.

German exports to Morocco accounted for roughly 3.9 billion euros, reinforcing the Kingdom’s position as an increasingly important partner for Germany outside the European Union. This performance placed Morocco 49th among global destinations for German exports in 2025, an improvement from its previous ranking.

The structure of trade shows that German exports are largely dominated by vehicles and spare parts, machinery, mechanical equipment, as well as chemical and electrical products. Meanwhile, Moroccan exports to Germany reached about 3.47 billion euros during the same period.

The data also indicate robust growth in Moroccan industrial exports, particularly in the automotive sector, where Germany imports a rising number of vehicles manufactured in Morocco. Other key export sectors include textiles, agricultural products, and electrical wiring, reflecting the diversification of Morocco’s industrial base.

Despite the progress, the trade balance still favors Germany, with an estimated surplus of around 430 million euros. However, the gap is gradually narrowing as Moroccan exports expand in higher value-added industries such as automotive electronics and advanced manufacturing.

Overall, Morocco has consolidated its position among Germany’s top 60 trading partners and remains one of its leading economic partners in Africa, alongside major regional economies. The steady rise in exchanges is also supported by increasing German investments in Morocco, particularly in renewable energy projects, green hydrogen initiatives, and the automotive industry, signaling a structural shift toward more complex industrial trade.
