Consumer appliances in 2024: The big picture
Moroccan consumers were more reluctant to buy consumer appliances in 2024 amid rising prices caused by hikes in VAT and import taxes. There was a sizeable drop in retail volume sales as consumers postponed or avoided appliance purchases.
2024 key trends
Although consumers witnessed lower inflation in 2024 compared to recent years, there was still much price volatility on key items such as fresh meat, fuel and other combustibles during the year. In addition, government measures to stimulate the economy by lowering interest rates over 2024, down from 3% to 2.
Competitive landscape
Whilst 2024 presented harsh trading conditions for players in Morocco, Arçelik AS stormed ahead and completed its acquisition of Whirlpool’s Moroccan and UAE subsidiaries in April 2024. Arçelik hopes that the strength of the Whirlpool name and its knowledge of consumer appliances in this market will strengthen Arçelik’s presence in Morocco, particularly in the upper income segment where consumers are less price sensitive and there is room for development.
Retailing developments
Leading retailer Cosmos Electro found itself in trouble during 2024 when it had to close five of its outlets. Whilst Cosmos’ current financial problems are the result of litigation and the payment of monies to another company, Cosmos had to rationalise its operations to survive.
What next for consumer appliances?
Consumer appliances in Morocco will continue to be dented by rising prices in 2025 with most consumers avoiding buying new appliances that are deemed non-essential. There will be a continued slump in demand for major appliances as most consumers will not have the money to spend on such items.
