Apparel and footwear in 2024: The big picture
In 2024, apparel and footwear faced ongoing economic challenges in Morocco due to declining household disposable income. Locals remained cautious with expenditure and prioritised essential purchases such as food groceries.
2024 key trends
Climate change had a decisive impact on certain categories where sales are normally reliant on the winter season. In 2024, unusual heatwaves caused by global climate shifts have been impacting demand for certain types of hosiery and outerwear among both men and women.
Competitive landscape
Apparel and footwear is a highly fragmented category in Morocco, with no company being able to register a double-digit retail value share. Top international brands such as LC Waikiki, Shein, Defacto, Marwa and Decathlon continue to lead the competitive landscape.
Retailing developments
Apparel and footwear specialists are set to remain the dominant distribution channel for apparel and footwear in Morocco. These types of retailers continue to offer deep discounts to clear unsold stock and make room for new collections.
What next for apparel and footwear?
Despite the prospects of a brighter economic outlook in terms of lower inflation, most consumers will remain cautious in their spending behaviour over the forecast period. Promotions and clearances will continue to be relevant strategies to drive volume sales of apparel and footwear.
