Competitive Landscape
Shoprite Consolidates Control, but Outlet Closures Reshape the Channel
Hypermarkets are extremely concentrated, with Retail Supermarkets Nigeria Ltd (Shoprite) holding a 96% value share in 2025, up from 68% in 2020. Over the past five years, the market has become even more concentrated, as Massmart Holdings Ltd has exited the space, and Next Cash & Carry, despite growth, held only a 4% share in 2025.
