The future of home accessibility in Morocco: How Locamed and UP Stairlift are shaping the market

As life expectancy rises and healthcare continues to improve, a new challenge is emerging in Morocco: how can people remain independent and continue living safely in their own homes as they age?

Across Morocco, accessibility is becoming an increasingly important topic. Families are looking for solutions that allow elderly relatives and people with reduced mobility to remain in familiar surroundings rather than relocating to assisted living facilities. This shift is creating a growing market for residential accessibility solutions, including stairlifts and home adaptations. The need for home accessibility solutions in Morocco is already significant, as more than 1.7 million people live with a disability. In addition, Morocco’s population is ageing, which is expected to further increase the number of people requiring mobility support and accessible housing adaptations.

A market with unique characteristics

The Moroccan housing market presents unique opportunities and challenges. Many homes are multi-level, often with staircases that become difficult to navigate following an injury, illness, or age-related mobility loss.

At the same time, accessibility standards and regulations are still developing. While awareness of accessibility is increasing, many homes were not originally designed with mobility in mind. As a result, homeowners increasingly seek practical solutions that can be installed quickly without major construction work.

This is where stairlifts play an increasingly important role: enabling people to maintain access to every part of their home while preserving independence and quality of life.

Locamed: Building accessibility across Morocco

Few companies have done more to develop the accessibility market in Morocco than Locamed Access Solution.

Part of the Locamed group, which has supported healthcare professionals and patients since 1989, Locamed recognized early on that accessibility would become a key healthcare challenge for the future. Over the years, the company has established specialized teams, nationwide service coverage, and customer education, helping to create awareness of accessibility solutions throughout the country. Locamed has built a nationwide presence with showrooms and service locations across Morocco.

Today, Locamed access solution, the exclusive UP Stairlift partner in Morocco, has completed more than 150 stairlift installations across Morocco, serving private homes, villas, healthcare facilities, public institutions, and commercial buildings. This achievement has made Locamed the leading UP Stairlift partner in Africa.

Experience the UP Stairlift firsthand

One of Locamed’s greatest strengths is its commitment to customer experience.

Unlike many accessibility providers, customers can see and test the UP Stairlift in real-life settings. Fully operational UP Stairlifts are installed in Locamed’s flagship showrooms in Casablanca, Rabat, and Marrakech, allowing customers, families, architects, and healthcare professionals to experience the product firsthand before making a decision.

This hands-on approach helps build confidence and ensures customers choose the solution that best fits their needs.

Why the UP Stairlift fits the Moroccan market

The Moroccan market requires flexibility, speed, and reliability. The UP Stairlift meets these requirements through its innovative modular rail system, which adapts to both straight and curved staircases. Its modern design, multiple seat colour options, and compact footprint allow it to blend naturally into residential environments.

Perhaps most importantly, local stock availability enables rapid installation. In many cases, Locamed can complete an installation within 48 hours after project approval, providing immediate support when mobility needs arise unexpectedly.

The system is also future-proof: should homeowners move to another property, the stairlift, including rail parts, can often be removed and reinstalled elsewhere, making it a long-term investment in accessibility.

UP Stairlift’s modular design and rapid installation capabilities have become key differentiators in international markets.

Service beyond installation

Accessibility is not only about installing a product, it is about providing peace of mind. Locamed’s nationwide network of specialized technicians handles surveys, installation, commissioning, preventive maintenance, and after-sales service throughout Morocco. Their dedicated service teams ensure that installations continue operating safely and efficiently for years to come.

This local presence, combined with technical expertise and customer support, has helped build long-lasting relationships based on trust.

Looking ahead: The future of accessibility in Morocco

The future of accessibility in Morocco is promising. As awareness continues to grow and the population ages, demand for home accessibility solutions is expected to increase significantly. Families more and more value solutions that allow loved ones to age in place while maintaining dignity and independence.
Together, Locamed Access Solution and UP Stairlift are committed to supporting this future: delivering innovative, safe, and reliable accessibility solutions that help people stay connected to the homes they love.

The journey towards a more accessible Morocco has only just begun.
