Executive summary

Increasing value sales characterise disposable paper products market

The disposable paper products market increased in 2005 in Nigeria. The increase was due to a number of factors, including the fact that consumer purchasing power is now up, hence consumers tend to have the power to spend more. The increase is also due to more companies investing in the disposable paper products market in Nigeria, providing consumers with a wider range of products to choose from. Another important factor that is responsible for this is the increase in the Nigerian population, which is leading to greater demand for such commodities. Procter & Gamble, Star Paper Mill and Johnson & Johnson are also very important investors in the disposable paper products market in Nigeria.

Per capita income on the increase throughout the review period

The per capita income of Nigerians has been on the increase since 2000, which has led to a rise in consumption of disposable paper products. In 2000 the Nigerian government started liberalising most sectors of the economy giving way to competition and companies taking on staff. People started earning more and began their quest for a better life, which led to an increase in consumption of more of these commodities. Though disposable paper products value sales rose by about 11% in 2005, this is slower than the rate of inflation at around 14%. It is very pertinent to note at this juncture that there are some deliberate actions and policies by previous governments that tend to influence inflation. The government in situ in 2006, through the Central Bank of Nigeria, is tackling some of these problems in order to attain a single-digit inflation figure.

“Others” and independent food stores gain lion’s share in terms of distribution

Throughout the period under review the most popular retail outlets for disposable paper products where “others” and independent food stores. This is due to the fact that these are outlets that are close to people’s houses, and consumers have an opportunity to bargain at them. The “others” distribution channel includes outdoor markets, mobile kiosks and hawkers. Consumers have strong bargaining power in these types of outlets; hence “others” was the dominant distribution channel for disposable paper products in Nigeria in 2005.

Better market performance expected during forecast period

With the continuing liberalisation of most sectors of the economy, and more people working, it is likely that people will earn more money during the forecast period and be able to buy more of these commodities. Also with the forecast growth of the country’s population and more people working, it is predicted that these factors will have a positive effect on disposable paper products value sales.

Highly competitive market dominated by local players

The disposable paper products market in Nigeria is highly competitive with local players and multinationals competing for share. Though there are a lot of multinationals present in Nigeria, where some of them just use distributors for their products, some do have manufacturing plants in the country that produce under license from the multinationals. Some of these multinationals that that use local distributors for their products include Reckitt Benckiser and Johnson & Johnson, while those that use local manufacturers producing under license from the multinationals include Paterson Zochonis and Unilever among others.
