In a move that underscores Nigeria’s growing influence in the West African coatings market, the inaugural West Africa Coatings Show 2025 is set to take center stage in Lagos from July 2-4, 2025. This highly anticipated event promises to bring together over 1,200 industry professionals and 150 exhibiting brands from 15 countries, cementing Nigeria’s position as a major player in the region.
The coatings market in Nigeria is poised for remarkable growth, driven by significant investments in infrastructure, industrialization, and a burgeoning population. According to Mordor Intelligence, the market is projected to achieve an impressive compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of over 4% from 2024 to 2029. This growth is further bolstered by Nigeria’s construction market, which is expected to expand at an annual rate of 3.1% from 2025 to 2027.
High-profile projects such as Eko Atlantic and the World Trade Centre, valued at USD 6 billion and USD 1 billion respectively, are among the key drivers of this growth. These projects demonstrate the government’s commitment to developing Nigeria’s infrastructure and creating opportunities for businesses to thrive.
The West Africa Coatings Show, organized by The Coatings Group, a division of dmg events, in partnership with the Paints Manufacturers Association of Nigeria (PMA), will provide a unique platform for industry professionals to connect with influential decision-makers, explore new opportunities, and drive business forward.
