PROSPECTS AND OPPORTUNITIES
Economic improvement and population growth to support expansion
Wound care is expected to record stronger growth over the forecast period as economic recovery improves household disposable incomes. The category remains immature in Nigeria, providing room for expansion through increased awareness and broader distribution.
Innovation and natural formulations broaden appeal
While consumers will continue to prioritise affordable products, opportunities exist for manufacturers to introduce more sophisticated, higher-value wound care solutions targeting health-conscious middle- and upper-income groups. Advanced dressings such as hydrocolloids, hydrogels and foam dressings offer faster healing and infection control, appealing to consumers seeking effective care.
Rising health awareness drives category formalisation
The health awareness gains made during the COVID-19 pandemic are expected to continue benefiting wound care. Consumers are increasingly conscious of the need to prevent infections and properly treat cuts, burns, and sores, leading to higher frequency of use and more regular product replacement.
