Morocco's Tanger Med port reinforces position as Africa's leading trade gateway
Transcript
00:00Tangier Med's industrial platform stayed on a strong growth path in 2025, with business volume reaching $18.8 billion, up
00:108% year-on-year.
00:12Automotive remained the main driver at $12.5 billion, followed by logistics at around $5.5 billion,
00:20while sectors such as textiles and aeronautics posted the fastest growth, showing the platform is expanding into more value-added
00:29activity.
00:31We are working on developing these ports, first by launching a new gateway linked to our digital system.
00:39This electronic platform will help introduce modern tools based on digitalization, artificial intelligence and blockchain technology in order to improve
00:50and streamline exchanges.
00:52It is expected to be launched by the end of May.
00:55Authorities say the next phase is about more than cargo volumes.
00:59The North African country is pushing to modernize port management through digital tools,
01:04while also trying to make its logistics infrastructure faster, smarter and more competitive.
01:12These ports are also being upgraded with a green transition in mind,
01:17through the integration of renewable energy and stronger energy and water efficiency measures.
01:24Tangier MAD's 2025 performance is also reinforcing its role as a model for Morocco's next port projects.
01:31The government wants to replicate the same integrated mix of port infrastructure, industry, logistics and investment
01:38that helped turn Tangier into a major regional hub.
01:44Tangier MAD is now one of the leading hubs in the Mediterranean
01:47and one of Morocco's most important industrial and logistics centers.
01:50With influence extending well beyond the country, it has attracted major investment in automotive, textiles and technology,
01:57and Morocco is now looking to replicate this successful Tangier model in two new port complexes.
02:05For Morocco, Tangier MAD now stands as proof of how port infrastructure can drive wider industrial growth.
02:12As the country expands its logistics network and develops new port complexes,
02:17the focus is increasingly on attracting higher-value industries
02:21and deepening Morocco's role in regional and global trade.
