Growth in Nigeria Logistics Market Driven by Infrastructural Investment, Increase in Trade and Entry of International Players: Ken Research

0


“Marked with the booming economy and improving foreign ties, the logistics sector in Nigeria experienced high growth in 2018.”

Analysts at Ken Research in their latest publication Nigeria Logistics and Warehousing Market Outlook to 2023 – By Sea, Land, Pipeline, Air Freight Forwarding; International and Domestic Freight, Integrated, and 3PL Freight Forwarding; By Warehousing (Industrial/ Retail, ICD/CFS, Cold Storage, Others), By End Users, 3PL Warehousing, Type of Warehouses; By Courier Express and Parcel Logistics and E-commerce Logistics” believe that the Logistics market has grown due to Nigeria’s strategic location in the country, infrastructural developments and government efforts to improve foreign relations.

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.

Infrastructure Development: Improving infrastructure in the country happens to be a key growth driver for the logistics industry of the county. An Investment of NGN 200 Billion in just 10 years has been made regarding port infrastructure.  Also, Abuja-Kaduna SGR has been completed to facilitate cargo and passenger movements. The willingness of international players to enter the market has made Nigeria step up their logistics infrastructure and spending.

Growth in E-Commerce Sector: The presence of e-commerce players such as Jumia, Konga, Mall for Africa and the introduction of e-payment systems such as Paga has rejuvenated the express delivery services. The e-commerce players are rejuvenating the market by increasing same-day deliveries within Lagos. The services provided by the companies such as guaranteed delivery services to the remote areas, door to door delivery, order tracking and time pick up delivery services at affordable rates have further strengthened the growth of the express logistics market in the country.

The dominance of Third-Party Logistics: For companies whose core business is not logistics, it is advisable to outsource logistics contracts. There is a tough competition in the industry where the companies have to provide diversified services to gain the market which is difficult to provide with good profits. Outsourcing enables them to gain access to resources and capabilities that are not available internally.
