Textile exports are decreasing, falling by 9.1% as of May 2026, a decline no longer fully attributable to logistical disruptions. The worsening trend in April and May indicates a deeper issue than shipping delays. A significant labor shortage is now the primary cause, directly impacting production levels and order fulfillment. Companies are struggling to meet delivery deadlines due to insufficient staffing. This shortage weighs heavily on the sector's ability to maintain export volumes. The situation highlights a critical challenge for the Moroccan textile industry. Further declines are anticipated if the labor issue remains unresolved.
