Significant Increase in Car Imports in 2025 and Record Customs Revenue
The Moroccan Automotive Market: A Year of Dynamic Growth in 2025
The Moroccan automotive market demonstrated robust momentum in 2025, characterized by a significant rise in vehicle imports and record growth in customs revenues. According to the activity report from the Administration of Customs and Indirect Taxes (ADII), the importation of both new and used passenger cars saw a marked increase throughout the year.
Used Cars Surge by 20%
In 2025, the number of cleared used passenger vehicles reached 17,547 units, compared to 14,589 the previous year, marking an increase of 20%. This growth translates to an additional 2,958 vehicles on the market.
This trend was accompanied by a substantial rise in tax revenues, with rights and taxes related to these imports increasing by 39%, totaling 834 million dirhams.
According to the ADII, this evolution is primarily driven by vehicles aged three years and older. Conversely, the importation of cars less than one year old declined by 20%. The specific regime designed for Moroccans residing abroad (MRE) also contributed to this trend, with a 16% increase in clearances and a 25% rise in associated revenues.
Strong Expansion in the New Car Market
The segment of new vehicles experienced even more significant growth. Imports reached 188,420 units in 2025, up from 137,166 in 2024—a staggering increase of 37%, representing over 51,000 additional vehicles.
The total value of these imports amounted to 40.78 billion dirhams, with tax revenues generated from this segment hitting 8.8 billion dirhams, rising by 38% compared to the previous year.
Customs Revenues Reach Historic Levels
Fueled by the dynamic nature of imports, the overall revenues of the ADII reached a record high of 162.7 billion dirhams in 2025, reflecting a 9.5% increase compared to 2024.
This impressive performance is primarily supported by the growth of VAT and the Internal Consumption Tax (TIC). The structure of revenues confirms the increasing significance of these two components, while the share of import duties is progressively declining.
In relation to the targets set by the 2025 Finance Law, the achievement rate stands at 99.9% in terms of confirmed rights and 98.9% in paid rights, indicating a budget execution that is largely in line with projections.
