Quick answer: industrial signals published in June and July 2026 confirm the central role of Kenitra, Tanger Med and Tangier. Renault Group wrote on 29 June 2026 that Morocco is its second global platform by volume, with more than 394,000 vehicles produced in 2025 and 82% of Tangier and Casablanca output exported to 63 destinations.
What to retain
On 30 June 2026, Morocco’s Industry Ministry announced BENTELER’s new Kenitra plant, due to start production in summer 2026 and create more than 300 direct jobs.
Why it matters
Tanger Med remains the hinge: Renault cites 87 tier-1 suppliers, a one-million-vehicle terminal, 161 million tonnes handled in 2025 and more than 11.1 million containers in 2025.
Watch points
Capacity announcements should be checked against durable jobs, training, local purchases and actual exports. Stellantis-related ministry material points to more than €6bn of Morocco-based supplier purchases by 2030 and 75% local integration.
