Content
Reasons Why Made-in-Nigerian Goods Suffer Low Market Share:
Government Policy: Inconsistent or unfavorable government policies can hinder the growth of local industries. For instance, lack of supportive infrastructure, inefficient regulations, and inadequate incentives for local manufacturers can negatively impact the production and competitiveness of Nigerian goods.
Fake Products: The prevalence of counterfeit goods can undermine the reputation of locally made products. Fake products often flood the market at lower prices, making it difficult for genuine Nigerian products to compete on price and quality. This not only damages consumer trust but also affects the sales of authentic products.
Exchange Rate Fluctuations: Volatility in exchange rates can significantly impact the cost of raw materials and production for Nigerian manufacturers. A weak naira increases the cost of importing essential raw materials and machinery, which can raise production costs and reduce the competitiveness of Nigerian goods in both local and international markets.
