Private Sector Malaria Commodity Market in Three Nigerian States 2024

The ACTwatch Lite Nigeria 2024 study provides insights into the private sector malaria commodity market across Lagos, Abia, and Kano states. It examines market composition, availability, pricing, market share, supply chains, provider behavior, outlet characteristics, and regulatory challenges.

Use Cases

• Analyze antimalarial market share distribution across outlet types, focusing on PPMVs as the main distribution channel.
• Compare pricing of WHO-prequalified and non-prequalified ACTs and diagnostic tests across the three surveyed states.
• Investigate the disconnect between antimalarial availability and malaria testing prevalence in Abia and Lagos states versus Kano.
• Examine supply chain inefficiencies and regulatory challenges affecting product availability and affordability.

Strengths

• Data is standardized and collected for three distinct Nigerian states (Lagos, Abia, Kano), allowing for regional comparison.
• Includes qualitative insights on regulatory and economic challenges, such as high import duties and currency volatility.
• Study provides findings on a nascent market segment, e-pharmacies, indicating scope for future research.

Limitations

• Data coverage is limited to three states, which may not be representative of the entire Nigerian private sector malaria market.
• The report is a summary of findings; the underlying raw dataset with specific rows, columns, and sample data is unavailable for review.
• The online pharmacy sector is described as nascent, and data from this outlet type may be limited or require different collection methods.
