COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE
Fragmentation in apparel accessories, with growing competition from affordable brands
Apparel accessories in Nigeria remained highly fragmented in 2025, with numerous small brands competing. Consumer choice is driven primarily by quality and price rather than brand familiarity, with branded products facing competition from imitation products, particularly within belts, where the local production of imitations is substantial.
Sustainable practices boost sales of locally made accessories
Dye Lab emerged as a pioneer in sustainable apparel accessories during 2025, standing out through its use of local Adire material in products such as scarves. The brand demonstrated strong dynamism and growing popularity through various activities throughout the year.
Stability offers opportunities for players to enter and grow
The leadership remained stable between 2024 and 2025, and no significant mergers, acquisitions, or major product launches were recorded during the year. This stability present opportunities for businesses to focus on enhancing their distribution channels and improving product affordability to capture a larger share of sales.
