Did you know that over 80 million Nigerians use smartphones — and more than 60% of urban consumers now prefer to order groceries online rather than visit physical stores?
In cities like Lagos, Abuja, Port Harcourt, and Ibadan, the traditional grocery shopping experience is rapidly evolving. With busy work schedules, traffic congestion, and the growing need for convenience, more Nigerians are embracing grocery delivery apps as their go-to solution.
If you’re a supermarket owner, logistics entrepreneur, tech investor, or startup founder, this is your chance to tap into one of the most promising digital opportunities in Nigeria’s economy. And at Appfur Nigeria, we’re here to help you build a powerful, high-performing grocery delivery app that meets local needs and drives real business results.
Why Grocery Delivery Apps Are on the Rise in Nigeria
The growth in grocery delivery apps is no coincidence — it’s a natural response to shifting consumer behaviors and digital transformation across the country. Here’s why this market is booming:
- Over 80 million active smartphone users in Nigeria.
- Affordable data plans and mobile internet access are expanding.
- Urban lifestyles demand faster, more convenient shopping solutions.
- Digital payments like bank transfers, cards, USSD, and mobile wallets are widely accepted.
- Lagos traffic alone can consume hours — delivery apps save time.
- Post-COVID digital habits have made contactless delivery the new normal.
