On September 18, 2025, ProductLife Group (PLG) inaugurates PL Morocco in Casablanca, an important step in our global expansion and in our commitment to combine global expertise with local insight for life sciences companies operating across MENA.
A market on the rise
The Middle East & Africa (MEA) pharmaceutical market is forecast to reach ~USD 64.1 billion by 2028-with the Middle East at ~USD 34B (CAGR ~6.8%) and Africa at ~USD 30B (CAGR ~5.8%)-driven by demographics, chronic disease burden, and increasing access and insurance coverage in Gulf markets. Morocco's retail channel alone reached ~USD 1.5B in MAT Q1 2024, with growth supported by dynamic local manufacturers and distributors.
Beyond demand, regulatory pathways are becoming more navigable. In the Gulf, the GCC Central Drug Registration (GCC-DR) provides a unified procedure that supports multi-market registrations across member states, streamlining timelines and alignment. In Morocco, the Direction du Médicament et de la Pharmacie (DMP) acts as the national authority; recent policy work includes a pharmaceutical pricing reform announced in 2025-part of broader modernization efforts to improve access and predictability.
Industrial capacity is also expanding. Initiatives such as SENSYO Pharmatech-a large-scale vaccine fill-finish and manufacturing project near Casablanca-illustrate Morocco's trajectory toward becoming a regional biopharma hub, complementing local clinical and manufacturing ecosystems.
