As trade routes diversify and industries expand, Morocco and North Africa are becoming increasingly attractive destinations for logistics and haulage businesses. With thriving sectors such as oil and gas, textiles, transport equipment, food production, and utilities, North Africa offers lots of potential for growth.

Industry Opportunities in North Africa

Morocco is a strategic gateway to the African continent, supported by modern infrastructure and free-trade agreements.

Morocco is the EU’s 18th biggest trade partner, representing 1.2% of the EU’s total trade in goods with the world in 2024. The EU is Morocco's largest trade partner, accounting for 59% of its trade in goods trade in 2024. 67.7% of Morocco's exports went to the EU, and 54% of Morocco's imports came from the EU.

Here are a few examples of industries currently experiencing growth, which hauliers and businesses can take advantage of.

Transport Equipment

The transport and automotive industry is one of the fastest-growing sectors with global manufacturers operating major vehicle production hubs. This creates ongoing demand for parts, machinery and reliable haulage services. Businesses can take advantage of around eight different ferry routes into Morocco for shipment across Europe.

Textiles

The long established textile export sector is undergoing rapid modernisation. With European markets seeking sustainable and high-quality fabrics, UK businesses can benefit from transporting raw materials and finished goods across borders via readily available ferry routes schedules, including Almeria ⇄ Nador.

Food Production & Utilities

Morocco is scaling up agricultural output and processing capabilities in the area. European companies offering packaging, machinery, or cold-chain logistics can take advantage of potential partnerships in this industry. Similarly, the utilities sector is expanding to meet rising energy and infrastructure needs with suppliers of equipment and technical services becoming a necessary requirement. The port of Tanger Med provides access to the region for this sector.

Oil & Gas

North Africa remains a key player in global energy markets. There are opportunities in engineering, equipment transport and specialist logistic needs, particularly for companies experiences in handling hazardous goods.
