The kingdom is a go to fashion sourcing destination as the textile and clothing industry is its largest employer. Recent statistics suggest that 1600 manufacturers produce more than 1 billion a year with and employs 180 000 people. Morocco's textile industry is ranked 8th among the countries that export clothing to Europe thanks to its geographical location.
