Morocco is becoming a growingly attractive destination for global textile companies, as world’s leading textile groups are migrating from traditional Asian manufacturers to closer markets offering favorable conditions, such as Morocco. Tazi on the other hand urged Moroccan textile companies which are largely specialized in packaging to step up and become producers of finished products. These aggregators have a know-how that traditional manufacturers do not have, he stressed adding that the Moroccan manufacturers lack several expertise including creativity, marketing, logistics, technical development. The kingdom though attractive, is facing daunting competition from Turkey, which is also a favorite outsourcing market for the global textile leaders. Tazi on the other hand argues that Turkey’s superiority on Morocco also lies in the commitment to decarbonize their products and establish environment-friendly textile companies.
