The efforts that have been made in Morocco within the framework of the Emergence Plan and the National Pact for Industrial Emergence are worth noting given the dynamics that have been triggered, and the measures brought by these plans to Moroccan industry, namely the approach to approach to Morocco’s Global Trade. However, the analysis of competitiveness that we implemented during the period 2005-2014 shows that this relates to a few sectors (automobiles and aeronautics) and this was not the case for others: industrial sectors. However, the results obtained from the analysis of the main competitiveness indicators of these sectors reveal mixed performance of the industrial sectors. This also confirms that the measures adopted did not generate the expected effects, particularly in the implementation of a sustainable and efficient industrial development model capable of contributing effectively to improving the international competitiveness of Morocco such as sustained performance achieved by countries which were at the same industrial development level as that of our country. It is therefore necessary to question the determinants of this low competitiveness of the industry.

Abstract
The efforts that have been made in Morocco within the framework of the Emergence Plan and the National Pact for Industrial Emergence are worth noting given the dynamics that have been triggered, and the measures brought by these plans to Moroccan industry, namely the approach to approach to Morocco’s Global Trade. However, the analysis of competitiveness that we implemented during the period 2005-2014 shows that this relates to a few sectors (automobiles and aeronautics) and this was not the case for others: industrial sectors. However, the results obtained from the analysis of the main competitiveness indicators of these sectors reveal mixed performance of the industrial sectors. This also confirms that the measures adopted did not generate the expected effects, particularly in the implementation of a sustainable and efficient industrial development model capable of contributing effectively to improving the international competitiveness of Morocco such as sustained performance achieved by countries which were at the same industrial development level as that of our country. It is therefore necessary to question the determinants of this low competitiveness of the industry.

Abstract: (french)
Les efforts ayant été accomplis au Maroc dans le cadre du Plan Émergence et du Pacte National pour l’Emergence Industrielle durant ces dernières années, méritent d’être relevés compte tenu de la dynamique qui a été déclenchée, et des mesures apportées par ces plans à l’industrie marocaine, particulièrement, l’approche de la spécialisation dans les Métiers Mondiaux du Maroc. Or, l’analyse de la compétitivité que nous avons menée durant la période 2005-2014, démontre que cette dynamique ne concerne que quelques secteurs (l’automobile et l’aéronautique), et n’a pas été le cas pour d’autres secteurs industriels. Cependant, les résultats obtenus de l’analyse des principaux indicateurs de compétitivité des secteurs, font révélés des performances mitigées des secteurs industriels pris dans sa globalité. Cela, confirme que les mesures adoptées n’ont pas engendré les effets attendus, notamment dans la mise en place d’un modèle de développement industriel durable et performant capable de contribuer efficacement à l’amélioration de la compétitivité internationale du Maroc à l’instar des performances soutenues enregistrées par des pays qui étaient, dans un moment proche, au même niveau de développement industriel que notre pays. Il s’avère nécessaire, par conséquent, de s’interroger sur les déterminants de cette faible compétitivité de l’industrie.
