Article Abstract:

The market also has two characteristics, that there is growing pressure between both imports and local production, and Moroccan and international brands. Moroccan purchasing power is still weak, but this development in consumer credit will allow a growing middle class easier access to home appliance products.

Secondly, local demand will grow into production of safer and more reliable products. Concerning 5mn underequipped households, the household appliance market is worth TD 1.5bn.
