Fast Market Research recommends "Construction in Morocco - Key Trends and Opportunities to 2018" from Timetric, now available

Boston, MA -- (SBWire) -- 06/12/2014 --The Moroccan construction industry registered a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.27% during the review period (2009-2013). This growth was supported by government reforms including the liberalization, modernization and privatization of previously government-run sectors. Despite the financial crisis and the Arab Spring uprisings, the government increased expenditure on the construction and renovation of roads, airports and seaports. Construction industry growth is expected to remain healthy over the forecast period (2014-2018), as a result of the government's focus on infrastructure and residential construction. The residential, infrastructure and commercial construction markets collectively accounted for 84.1% of the construction industry's value in 2013. The contribution of these three markets will be significant to overall industry growth, with industry output expected to record a forecast-period CAGR of 5.06%.
