Telecommunications Sector in Morocco Continues to Grow

The telecommunications sector in Morocco is maintaining its growth momentum. According to the latest data published by the National Telecommunications Regulatory Agency (ANRT), the total number of mobile phone subscribers reached 57.06 million by the end of March 2026.

As noted in the ANRT’s quarterly report, this subscriber base includes 48.73 million prepaid subscriptions and 8.33 million postpaid subscriptions. The latter category shows an annual growth of 6.42%, confirming the increased popularity of subscription-based offers.

The mobile phone penetration rate stood at 154.93% in the first quarter of 2026. Furthermore, the number of active mobile numbers exceeded 1.64 million, marking a significant increase of 9.42% compared to the same period the previous year.

The fixed-line telephone market is also showing positive trends. By the end of March 2026, the total number of lines reached 3.26 million, reflecting an annual growth of 5.05%. This indicates a sustained demand for fixed services, despite the rapid digital transformation.

The ANRT also reports that nearly 200,000 requests for fixed number portability were recorded by the end of March 2026, a rise of 7.64% year-on-year. Unbundled lines, particularly ADSL and FTTH technologies, now account for nearly 30% of all fixed-line subscriptions.

These indicators confirm the ongoing growth of the telecommunications sector in Morocco, driven by the rise of digital usage and the continuous development of connectivity infrastructure.
