The paint industry in Nigeria is quite competitive and has matured significantly. Key factors that define the “best” paint manufacturers here include consistency of product quality, adaptability to the tropical climate (heat, humidity, rainfall), range/diversity of coatings (for interiors, exteriors, marine, automotive, industrial), widespread distribution network, and reputation among contractors & homeowners.

CAP Plc in particular has shown strong market share growth, especially after merging with Portland Paints.
