In 2025, Morocco emerged as the leader of Mobile Internet performance in North Africa, according to the Speedtest Global Index™ published by the specialized platform Ookla. The Kingdom now occupies The 1the regional place and the 39â at the level World Cup, registering a spectacular jump of 22 places compared to 2024, supported by the implementation of its national 5G deployment strategy.

Launched in November 2025, 5G technology has played a role decisive in improving mobile performance. Although his introduction was later than in some neighboring countries, the strong Increase in 5G high-speed connection tests observed at the end of year a resulted in a significant increase in the median speed of download. This dynamic allowed Morocco to beat Algeria (78â in the world ranking), the Tunisia (72â), Egypt (83â) and the Libya (103â), thus consolidating its status as a regional reference.
