Takaful Morocco 2026: market +49%, the 5 operators analyzed

Updated on June 12, 202614 min read

Takaful insurance premiums reached MAD 1.8 billion in Morocco in 2025, a +49% growth vs 2024. Five ACAPS-licensed operators now share this Sharia-compliant market. Complete overview to choose the right contract in 2026.

1. 1. Takaful Morocco market 2025: +49% premiums

After a quiet operational launch in 2022, participative insurance is taking off. The 2025 figures published by ACAPS confirm an exponential trajectory, driven by demand from the 30% of practicing Muslim savers and the growth of participative banking.

  • Premiums 2025: MAD 1.8 billion (vs MAD 1.21B in 2024)
  • Annual growth: +49% (vs +33% in 2024)
  • Addressable target: 30% of insurable population
  • Products: auto, home, health, life, travel, Hajj/Umrah, professional liability
  • Regulator: ACAPS (Insurance and Social Welfare Supervisory Authority)

Takaful relies on three pillars: absence of interest (riba), mutualization of losses and profits among participants, and Sharia compliance validated by a mandatory board at each operator. Law 17-99 of the Insurance Code and Law 50-15 on participative banking strictly regulate this market.

Reinsurance is provided locally by Wafa Re and internationally by Munich Re via its Salaam branch, ensuring the solvency of the five Moroccan operators.

Why this acceleration?

The launch of Bank Al Yousr, Umnia Bank and Bank Assafa created a full participative ecosystem. Takaful became mandatory as collateral for Mourabaha real estate financing, mechanically boosting demand.

2. 2. Comparison of the 5 ACAPS-licensed operators

Five companies share the market in 2026, with distinct positioning by market share, products and banking backing.
