DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The "Wholesale and Retail of Food in Nigeria 2023" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
This report on the wholesale and retail of food in Nigeria includes information on the state of the industry, both formal and informal, mall development, ecommerce, key trends and issues, influencing factors and notable players.
The food wholesale and retail sectors in Nigeria are highly fragmented and dominated by the informal sector and small enterprises, which account for 95% of transactions. Formal retailing includes international brands and accounts for a small portion of revenue. The number of locally-owned retailers has increased, and investors have shown an appetite to invest in them. Nigeria's large population, rising middle class and tech-savvy youth offer opportunities for investment and expansion in the sector.
Operators face a myriad of challenges including poor infrastructure, a shortage of serviced land for retail development, unreliable electricity supply, high inflation, a shortage of foreign currency, a volatile local currency and complex import processes.
Consumer buying patterns have shifting slightly towards more food items as a percentage of household expenditure. Formal retailers are positioning themselves as preferred destinations. Growing ecommerce sector. Local retailers are focusing on city outskirts and suburbs. Mall development is likely to be focused on small suburban malls.
There are profiles of 21 companies including multinationals operating in Nigeria such as Nestle, Unilever and Cadbury, local supermarket chains such as Addide and FoodCo, and major distributors such as Wigmore Trading.
Complex import procedures
High inflation. High levels of corruption at ports and state institutions. High levels of informality complicate supply chains. Lack of a formal credit system particularly for small and medium retailers. Many stores are situated in congested areas with poor accessibility. Multiple tax regime. Poor road and rail infrastructure. Security concerns. Shortages of foreign currency. Threats of cyber-security. Unavailability of serviced land for retail development. Unstable power supply and poor water resources.
Opportunities
Convenience shopping services attracting consumers to formal shops.
Data aggregation. Ecommerce and fintech, with fast-growing young population and increased internet penetration rate. Economic recovery, high disposable incomes of middle class driving sales. Economic reforms being implemented by government. High population and rising middle-class. Untapped markets in rural areas.
Outlook
Nigeria faces high inflation, unemployment, and unequitable distribution of income.
Locally-owned medium and small retailers continue to expand in small towns and semi-rural areas. Retailers, food manufacturers, and real estate investors remain committed to the Nigerian market, highlighting the long-term opportunity of a huge consumer base. Despite high profile exists of formal retail operators from Nigeria, there are opportunities including relatively small, localised retail developments geared towards essentials, and ecommerce platforms.
