Nigeria Packaging - Market Share Analysis, Industry Trends & Statistics, Growth Forecasts (2026 - 2031)
Market Report I 2026-01-16 I 100 Pages I Mordor Intelligence
Nigeria Packaging Market Analysis
The Nigeria packaging market was valued at USD 0.92 billion in 2025 and estimated to grow from USD 0.95 billion in 2026 to reach USD 1.09 billion by 2031, at a CAGR of 2.93% during the forecast period (2026-2031). Demographic momentum, accelerating urbanization and local-content policies continue to anchor demand even as foreign-exchange pressures challenge raw-material procurement. Plastic remains the dominant substrate because of cost advantages and established filling lines, but sustainability mandates and e-commerce logistics are shifting growth toward paper and flexible formats. Domestic resin supply from the new Dangote polypropylene complex is set to curb import exposure, while tighter monetary rules are pushing converters to deepen local sourcing. Investors that align with recycling infrastructure, barrier solutions for agro-exports and anti-counterfeit closures are best positioned to capture long-term value in the Nigeria packaging market.
Nigeria Packaging Market Trends and Insights
Surge in Beverage Demand
Nigeria's beverage producers are scaling filling lines and secondary packaging to serve a consumer base exceeding 230 million. Nigerian Bottling Company alone operates nine plants and 36 distribution points, driving sustained PET, glass, and aluminum orders. Coca-Cola's Apapa collection hub, inaugurated in 2025, processes 13,000 t of PET annually and underpins a target of 35-40% recycled content by 2035. The trend toward larger pack sizes, typified by 60 cl carbonated drinks, lifts absolute material consumption per unit sold. Breweries such as Guinness Nigeria, now under Tolaram ownership, are likewise pursuing volume strategies that reinforce demand for caps, labels, and cartons in the Nigeria packaging market. Sustained beverage volume growth is therefore set to add around 0.8 percentage points to the market CAGR through 2030.
Growing Penetration of E-Commerce and Last-Mile Delivery
Digital-commerce spending is accelerating on the back of smartphone uptake and improved payment rails. Urban merchants increasingly specify tamper-evident, brandable mailers, and low-minimum flexible pouches offered by firms like Pack Hub meet this need. Logistics enablers such as Terminal Africa are expanding export documentation services, broadening addressable demand for protective transit packaging. E-commerce buyers value damage-free delivery and unboxing aesthetics, propelling corrugated mailers, void fills and laminated film demand within the Nigeria packaging market. The segment's growth adds roughly 0.6% to the forecast CAGR and rewards converters capable of rapid customization and short print runs.
Strict Environmental and Recycling Mandates
NESREA's Extended Producer Responsibility rules require producers to finance take-back schemes and recycled-content thresholds, increasing compliance costs. Lagos State's enforcement of waste regulations sets the benchmark, and the federal Climate Change Act compels companies with 50+ employees to publish carbon plans. The first government-approved e-waste facility, inaugurated in 2024, demonstrates regulators' intent to expand circular-economy principles. Converters must redesign packs for recyclability or biodegradable performance, raising near-term capex and shaving 0.4% from the Nigeria packaging market CAGR.

Segment Analysis
Plastic retained a 48.02% share of the Nigeria packaging market in 2025, benefiting from ingrained filling lines across drinks, personal care, and industrial goods. The March 2025 start-up of Dangote's 900,000 tpa polypropylene plant ensures a steady resin supply that shields converters from currency swings. Rigid PET bottles and HDPE closures particularly gain from localized feedstock. Flexible polyolefin pouches, offered in minimum runs of 50 units by Hazken Digital, cater to SMEs seeking colorful, laminated prints. Nonetheless, ESG pressure and retail e-commerce lifting corrugated demand push paperboard to a 4.08% CAGR, the highest among major substrates.
Converters are diversifying into coated-paper wraps and molded-fiber trays to secure procurement from multinational FMCG firms committed to reducing virgin plastic. Coca-Cola's PET collection hub illustrates value-chain investments aimed at integrating recycled resin streams. Mohinani Group's PET recycling plants are expected to supplement recycled feedstock volumes regionally. Although biodegradable film suppliers like Bonniebio are piloting starch-based bags, adoption remains niche because of a 30-40% cost premium. Metal cans face aluminum price volatility, whereas container glass benefits from import bans on bottles above 150 ml that shield Beta Glass from Asian competition.
