Morocco’s mobile subscriptions rose to 153.1 per 100 people in 2024.

Higher is better. Higher is better here because more subscriptions mean more people can reach calls, messaging, mobile money and the internet through a connection they hold. The latest figure, for 2024, is 153.1 per 100 people, up 4.9 per 100 people from 148.2 per 100 people a year earlier, a rise of 3.3%. Since 2015 the lowest figure was 118.5 per 100 people in 2016, and the 2024 reading is the highest in that span. Subscriptions have therefore climbed to a new peak after that 2016 low.

Why it matters. At 153.1 per 100 people, mobile service in Morocco reaches beyond one line per resident, so many households run several SIM cards across family members, work and data-only devices. Firms can reach customers by phone and build services around mobile payments and apps. The state can count on a very large connected base for digital public services, though a figure above 100 reflects multiple SIMs and does not mean every person is online.
