Aerospace & Defence: the cost of the gap and how to measure it

The aerospace and defence industry in Morocco is experiencing sustained growth, driven by government initiatives and foreign investments. This strategic sector contributes to the country's economic development while addressing national security requirements. In this context, TargetUp Consulting offers an in-depth analysis of the challenges and opportunities facing companies operating in this field.

Method warning

A typical case, not a client

This study does not describe any real clients and does not report any results obtained from a client: our confidentiality commitments prohibit this. It sets out explicit working hypotheses, then derives orders of magnitude through calculations that you can replicate line by line. During a diagnosis, your figures replace ours.

The starting point

The modelled situation

Morocco has positioned aerospace and defence as key sectors of its industrial development plan. The country benefits from a favourable geographical location, a skilled workforce, and a supportive regulatory framework. Companies in the sector face challenges such as international competition, the need for constant innovation, and adaptation to strict quality standards. Furthermore, the growing demand for modern defence solutions and advanced aerospace technologies opens up interesting prospects. The above hypotheses help to better understand the sector landscape and identify growth levers.
