Rapid change in urban, middle-class population and youth dominance drives growth in consumer health

Nigeria is an increasingly important market. It is currently home to a growing middle class now estimated at around 50 million, and the increasing population of Nigerians has helped drive demand for medicine in the country.

Increased prices of essential medications restricts growth in 2018, although sales improve compared to 2017

Most Nigerians may not be able to afford even essential medicines as the Nigerian Customs Service (NCS) begins the implementation of a 20% duty on imported pharmaceutical products. Consumer health performance in value terms was weak compared to the previous period as the NCS implemented a 20% duty on imported products, although there was a significant improvement in volume sales compared to 2017 following devaluation of the naira against the US dollar.

Local players lead sales of consumer health products in Nigeria

Emzor Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd, May & Baker Nigeria Plc and GlaxoSmithKline Consumer Nigeria Plc are the leading players with their leading brands Emzor Paracetamol, M&B Paracetamol and Panadol Extra, respectively. Local players perform well in the OTC competitive landscape in Nigeria compared to prescription medicine which is dominated by international brands.

Drug distribution network in Nigeria and effect on human health

The drug distribution network in Nigeria is in a state of chaos as it comprises open-air markets, patent medicine stores, community pharmacies, private and public hospitals, wholesalers/importers and pharmaceutical manufacturers. It is common in Nigeria to see small traders who sell provisions among other items, via market kiosks, motor parks, and road-side locations hawking drugs that range from OTC items to antibiotics (popularly called “capsules”).

Strong growth expected for consumer health in Nigeria over the forecast period

The consumer health market is experiencing a significant shift, with more players entering consumer health and driving key innovations. Growth over the forecast period will see an increase because there are few good healthcare facilities in the country; self-medication is one of the few avenues open to Nigerians seeking healthcare and wellbeing products.
