Biscuit manufacturers in Nigeria
Nigeria’s biscuit market is led by a handful of local manufacturers. In the last widely reported market study (KPMG, 2016), Yale Foods held about 37% of the market, followed by OK Foods, A&P Foods, Deli Foods, Niger Biscuit and Beloxxi. The market was then worth around $617 million. Demand has softened since as prices rose, but biscuits are still one of the most widely sold snacks in the country.

Shares are from KPMG’s 2016 study as reported by BusinessDay. The market has shifted since, so treat them as a guide.
What sells in Nigerian shops
Small, low-priced packs sell fastest because most biscuits are bought on impulse, often with a soft drink. Cream crackers and digestives sell to families and offices. Cookies and premium imported biscuits sell in supermarkets and gift hampers.
Buying biscuits wholesale
Buy by the carton
Manufacturers sell through distributors, who sell cartons to wholesalers and shops. Ask for the price per carton and the number of packs inside.
Check dates and packaging
Biscuits break and go stale. Check the best-before date and reject crushed cartons.
Mix fast sellers with margin lines
Cheap packs bring customers in. Imported and premium biscuits earn more per pack.
