Consumer foodservice is impacted by high Inflation and weak purchasing power
In 2025, consumer foodservice in Nigeria was impacted by high inflation and weak consumer purchasing power. Demand shifted towards affordable, value-led formats such as street stalls/kiosks and limited-service restaurants, supported by urbanisation, population growth and a rising preference for convenience. Third-party delivery platforms, including Glovo and Chowdeck, strengthened digital ordering and at-home consumption, while cafés and bars benefited from a growing social drinking culture. Competition remained led by operators with strong networks, value positioning and delivery integration, notably Food Concepts Plc’s Chicken Republic. Looking ahead, continuing inflationary pressures, digitalisation, menu innovation and renewable energy adoption are expected to shape the landscape.
