【Morocco】Jewelry: Moroccan Craftsmanship Shines Abroad

Editor’s Note

This article highlights the rising global appeal of Moroccan jewelry, driven by strong export growth and an expanding digital footprint. As traditional craftsmanship meets modern markets, we explore the factors behind this international success.

Moroccan Jewelry Gains International Prominence

Moroccan jewelry is increasingly establishing itself on the international stage, strengthening its positioning abroad. This momentum is supported by both a continuous increase in exports and a booming digital presence, demonstrating its growing attractiveness.
Moroccan jewelry is a hit. This is evidenced by the annual export growth rate recorded at 30% between 2019 and 2024. France, Austria, and Switzerland are the primary export markets. In June 2025 alone, jewelry exports grew by 124%. During the first six months of 2025, jewelry exports increased by 50%. However, its market share remains low compared to other product families such as pottery and stone, carpets, or traditional clothing.
