Morocco preps for 5G launch by end-2025

Morocco has one of the more advanced telecommunications sectors in Africa. The government have provided considerable support, particularly relating to the country’s digital transformation and the extension of broadband nationally. These measures have gone far to improving internet access. In the fixed-line broadband segment there is considerable investment in fibre. A joint venture signed in March 2025 between Marco Telecom and Inwi will see the operators share passive telecom infrastructure and expand the reach of fibre networks to at least one million premises by March 2027 and three million by 2030.

Other developments centre on the country’s updated Digital Morocco 2030 strategy. As well as a complete digitisation of public services and stimulating the digital economy, the strategy aims to create 300,000 jobs, foster startups in the ICT sector, and increase the number of graduates with digital skills from Moroccan universities and technical colleges.

After some delay, 5G services are expected to be launched by the end of 2025. Digital Morocco 2030 calls for 5G coverage for key cities which are hosting the Africa Cup of Nations football tournament, and 70% population coverage by 2030. In remote areas of the country where mobile connectivity is unfeasible, the regulator is counting on internet services to be provided by Starlink and OneWeb, as also be a new satellite being built by Thales Alenia Space.

Key developments:

  • Maroc Telecom and Inwi agree to invest MAD4.4 billion in shared infrastructure expanding the reach of fibre and 5G services.
  • Damane Cash partners with Orange Money to promote financial inclusion.
  • Inwi becomes a strategic partner on the Medusa cable connecting six Southern European countries with five North African countries.
  • Telecom regulator issues a ruling requiring telcos to share their fibre infrastructure in a bid to improve fibre rollouts and competition.
  • Starlink and OneWeb soon to be licensed to provide satellite internet services in Morocco.
  • Digital Morocco 2030 strategy is launched with an initial MAD1.1 billion investment.
  • Report update includes ITU’s data updates, updated Telecom Maturity Index charts and analyses, regulator’s market data to December 2024, operator data to Q1 2025, recent market developments.
