Imported dandruff shampoos cost up to ₦39,800 for a 100ml bottle. Local demand for scalp care is massive. But manufacturing it will destroy your capital if you don't know the rules.
Most investors see the gap between expensive imports and cheap, unregulated local products and think, "I can easily make a better product for less."
They set up a small factory, buy equipment, and then get hit by the Nigerian reality:
❌ The NAFDAC Trap: You cannot sell a single bottle legally until you are registered. It takes 6 to 9 months, not 90 days. Your capital must survive this pre-revenue period.
❌ The Pharmacy Credit Trap: Supermarkets and pharmacies will demand 30 to 90-day payment terms. If you fund their inventory, your working capital will dry up.
❌ Import-Linked Costs: Your surfactants and active ingredients are priced in dollars. FX volatility eats your margin.
❌ Diesel Costs: From water treatment to mixing, production requires constant power. At ₦1,840/litre, your generator is a massive expense.
Year 1 is likely a loss-making year.
But if you understand the math, the medicated shampoo market is one of the most lucrative, low-barrier manufacturing opportunities in Nigeria today.
