Nigeria Warehousing Market Overview and Size

Nigeria warehousing market was evaluated to grow robustly during the period 2013-2018. The growth was mainly due to an increase in international trade volumes, market entry of international players, growing e-commerce market and building new manufacturing units and industries in Nigeria in order to make the country self-reliant. Sustained efforts have been taken by the government along with the Chinese government for developing free trade zone areas and industrial parks in the country. Major investment by foreign companies has driven the overall warehousing market in the country.

Nigeria Warehousing Segmentation by End User

The Food and beverage industry has been dominating the end-user segment due to the increasing trade of food products with Asian and European countries and the growing middle-class population in the country. Nigeria has set up the Automotive Industry Development Plan to set up more automation industries in Nigeria. The E-commerce sector has been developing in the country and attracting a lot of customers. Emergence of supermarkets and other stores is even contributing to the growing retail market in the country. The Nigerian government and private companies are contributors to the increase in demand for cold storage for agricultural and pharmaceutical drugs and medicines.

Nigeria Warehousing Segmentation by Type of Warehouse

Open yards and warehouses are less in number in Nigeria. However, the government is finding investors for building new structures near the ports that will reduce inefficiency in the trade. Closed warehousing space includes closed normal warehouses, temperature-controlled warehouses ranging from palletized warehouses for stacking their goods with all automation facilities to normal godowns. It even includes the cold storages that are currently less leading to wastage of agricultural products in the market.

Nigeria Warehousing Segmentation by Contract and Integrated Warehouses

In Nigeria, small and medium players lease out their warehousing requirements due to a shortage of good quality warehouses and huge capital requirements. Contractual logistics is highly prevalent in the e-commerce industry and cold chain warehousing where the cost of building and maintaining such warehouses is high.

Nigeria Warehousing Segmentation by Operational Model

The Industrial/Retail segment has dominated Nigeria warehousing market with massive revenue in the year 2018. Industrial parks and free trade zones are driving the growth of industrial warehouses.CFS/ICD warehousing contributes a lesser market share even if it is an import driven country. Cold Storage warehousing has increased over the years with the rising requirement of temperature-controlled products for the agricultural goods, seafood and pharmaceutical industry by the government and private companies. However, it is still at the infancy stage and thus doesn’t contribute much as of now in terms of revenue.

Nigeria Warehousing Segmentation by Region

Lagos has been the commercial hub of the country and the most prime location in terms of trade and logistics due to the proximity to the major seaports, airports and industrial parks in the country. Other warehousing hotspots include Ogun state near Lagos, Kano, Ibadan, Kaduna near Abuja and Nassaraw. With over congestion in the prime regions, investors and logistics companies are now seeking to shift to nearer less congested areas near Lagos and cheaper alternatives.

Nigeria Warehousing Segmentation by Market structure

Around 60% of the warehouses are strictly regulated in Nigeria under by NAFDAC due to poor warehousing standards and rising smuggled goods in the market. They manage and approve the warehouses according to their set standard rules and regulations.

Competitive Scenario in Nigeria Warehousing Market

The market is fragmented and full of godowns and unstructured warehouses that don’t have full-fledged facilities and automation. Godowns are usually individual owned that offer third-party services to international logistics firms. Various competition parameters of warehousing effectiveness are the cost of warehousing, area, and capacity, modern technological equipment, CCTV, Security and proximity to the airport, seaport and railways. The warehouses that are near to Lagos are generally charged higher then other places due to its strategic location.

Nigeria Warehousing Market Future Outlook and Projections

Nigeria warehousing market is projected to grow during the forecast period 2018-2023 owing to the country’s vigorous infrastructural plans. The key growth drivers will be the upcoming manufacturing units of the products that have been banned to import, an increasing number of supermarkets and retail stores. The increasing international trade volumes, growing industrial parks in the free trade zones and dry ports are expected to increase the demand for freight forwarding and warehousing services. The growing pharmaceutical industry and government support to increase agricultural products will increase the demand for cold storage industries in the future.

Nigeria Warehousing Market Driven by Infrastructural Developments, Boost in Foreign Trade and Booming Manufacturing sector: Ken Research

Buy Now

“On the back of new manufacturing industries and improving foreign trade ties, the warehousing sector in Nigeria experienced high growth in 2018.”

Analysts at Ken Research in their the latest publication “Nigeria Warehousing Market Outlook to 2023 – By Operational Model, Open and Closed, End Users, Regulated and Unregulated, Regions, Integrated and Contract Warehouses” believe that the warehousing market in Nigeria is expected to grow due to government spending, Industrial parks, International trade, strict regulations by NAFDAC and adaptation to new technology.

Strategic Location: Nigeria is the world’s gateway to West Africa and Lagos is one of the most vibrant international trading hubs in Nigeria. Most of the sea transportation is done by two seaports in Lagos namely Lagos Port Complex and Tin can Port. A new Deep Sea Port in Lekki and Trans-African Highway is being constructed, which is expected to further open up Nigeria to international trade. Also, Airport connectivity is great with major foreign countries with MMI Airport in Lagos as the busiest one involved in cargo transportation.

Focus on Manufacturing Sector: Nigeria is focusing on making the country self-dependent. Nigeria Automotive Industry Development Plan has been initiated to ignite the automobile manufacturing units in the country. Food and Beverages and agro-processing industries are opening due to the products that have been banned from importing (41 Products). Manufacturing and Agriculture related industries are given the benefits by the issuance of single-digit interest rate loans to firms, thereby increasing the number of manufacturing and agri related industries.

Infrastructure Development: An investment of NGN 200 Billion has been made in constructing new seaports and airport infrastructure in the past 10 years. Abuja-Kaduna SGR has been completed to facilitate cargo and passenger movement. This is facilitating trade and the need for more warehousing space in the country.

E-commerce Sector and Retail Outlets:

Big E-commerce giants such as Konga and Jumia have contributed to the retail demand for products and increase the revenue of the warehousing sector. Konga has recently launched two mega warehouses in Abuja and Port Harcourt. The growing middle-class population in Nigeria has increased the demand for packed food items, clothing items, electronics, gadgets, and many more products. This has increased the number of retail stores and supermarkets that require warehousing space to manage their seasonal goods and additional stock. Traditional store retailers such as Next Cash and Mr. Price have opened e-stores to boost sales.
