Wholesale Fuel sales in Morocco fall to 77.3 billion dirhams in 2024

Fuel Sales Dip: Moroccan Distributors See Revenue Decline in 2024

Wholesale gasoline and diesel distributors in Morocco saw a slight decrease in total revenues last year, marking a shift in the country's fuel market.

Total revenue generated by the nine major distributors reached 77.3 billion dirhams in 2024, a drop of 3% from the previous year, according to the Competition Council’s Q1 2025 report. Diesel dominated sales, accounting for 85% of volume and 83% of revenue.

A Landscape in Flux: Service Stations Surge

Despite the overall revenue decline, Morocco's fuel retail network saw significant expansion. The nationwide total number of service stations reached 3,534 by the end of 2024, up from 3,350 the year prior.

The nine companies bound by previous settlement agreements operated 2,535 stations (72% of the total), with a modest increase of 51 new outlets compared to 2023. However, other operators exhibited more aggressive growth, expanding from 866 to 999 stations. This resulted in a significant rise in their market share from 25.9% to 28.3%, signaling a potential shift in power within the Moroccan fuel retail landscape.
