Resumen :
This paper analyses the liberalization process of the Moroccan mobile market since the beginning
of the 21 st century. Our database ranges from 2004 to the end of 2020. First, operators’ market
shares are presented and analysed. Second, we build concentration indexes and other indicators
of competitiveness. Finally, we conduct an econometric analysis to determine the extent to which
regulatory measures, privatization, market structure and the population dimension determine
market shares. Overall, we can argue that, although concentration remains high, the market has
become more competitive since the liberalization process began. The statistical analysis and the
econometric assessment show that the entrance of the third operator made the market more
competitive. Indeed, there is evidence that operator companies competed to capture customers
from each other during the period under study. These features suggest that mobile operators did
not follow anticompetitive practices in order to restrain competition.
