Avg Population / Region
The Kingdom of Morocco is situated in the far north-west of Africa, in the Maghreb region. It has coastline along both the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea and shares land borders with Algeria and Western Sahara, and claims several islands off its coast. The capital city is Rabat.
The only north African nation to escape Ottoman domination and ruled by familial dynasties for centuries, Morocco’s position so close to Europe and at the mouth of the Mediterranean Sea was strategically important. In 1912 it was recognised as so useful to France and Spain that they divided the country into protectorates. By 1956, however, Morocco had regained its independence and reunified. Although relatively stable, Morocco is still in dispute over the territory of Western Sahara. Morocco claims two-thirds of the country and despite efforts to reach resolution, the issue of sovereignty remains disputed. It is now run as a unitary semi-constitutional monarchy and is divided into twelve regions.
Morocco boasts one of the largest economies in Africa. Whilst the agriculture sector is the largest employer, the service sector is by far the largest contributor economically. Crops include cereals and high-quality fruit and olives for export. Industry comprises mining, construction and manufacturing, but tourism is a huge earner for Morocco, which is one of the most visited countries in Africa.
Demographically, Morocco is a young country with a population that is becoming increasingly urbanised - currently around 65% of the people live in or around cities. The majority of citizens have Arab-Berber heritage. The official languages are Arabic and Berber.
Culturally, Morocco has an extremely rich heritage, with influences from the Arab world, Africa and Europe. Stunning Moorish architecture and art act as the backdrops for many places. Music and literature have characteristics from all elements of Morocco’s heritage, and its cuisine is very diversified. The national sport is soccer.
On the world stage Morocco is a member of the United Nations and the African Union.

Additional variables

Please see the table above for availability of the following additional variables.

Retail spend

Retail spend refers to the potential share for retailers of the purchasing power of households within a given populated area. It is calculated as general purchasing power, less fixed expenditure. High quality, proven retail spend data is available on a municipality, postcode and small area basis.

Retail turnover

Retail turnover refers to the turnover of local retail trade. In contrast to purchasing power and retail spend, retail turnover quantifies purchases at the consumers’ place of expenditure. High quality, proven retail turnover is available on a municipality, postcode and small area basis.

Retail centrality index

The retail centrality index describes the capacity of a given area to attach the retail spend of its own population, as well as incoming shoppers from other areas, to the local retail trade. Cities with a high ‘shopping appeal’ have a centrality index of over 100. This is because they attract more shoppers and retail spend from surrounding areas than they emit in return. The retail centrality index is available at municipality and postcode code level.

Consumer spend by product groups

Consumer spend by product group quantifies the expenditure by consumers on specific groups of goods or services.

Whilst purchasing power is the most commonly used indicator for a region’s potential, it is not necessarily the most appropriate planning tool for all goods and services, as for some, patterns of consumer behaviour do not relate exclusively to disposable income. In order to respond to the nuances of the market, the general purchasing power values have been enhanced and recalculated based on consumer spend for twenty product categories.

Product categories include: food and non-alcoholic beverages; alcoholic beverages, tobacco, clothing, footwear, furniture & furnishings (carpets and other floor coverings), household textiles, household appliances, glassware (inc. tableware & household utensils), tools and equipment for house and garden, routine household maintenance, medical products, appliances and equipment, consumer electronics (inc. photographic and IT equipment), durables for recreation and culture, toys and games (inc. hobby, sport, garden, pets), recreational and cultural services, newspapers (inc. books and stationery), catering services, personal care and jewellery (inc. clocks, watches and other personal effects).
