Development of Better Infrastructure:  
Development of LAKAJI Agricultural growth corridor and Lekki Sea-Port will significantly increase the efficiency of the logistics traffic. The 42 Free Trade Zones in Nigeria where companies can import and export without being subject to the usual customs and tax, boosts the logistics industry significantly. Improvement of pharmaceutical cold chain, existing players like Zenith Carex are investing to increase their presence in pharma-logistics. Increased investment will drive technological development, and will potentially lead to automation of warehouses and installation of IoT devices. This is will improve real-time data collection and analysis, that will in turn lead to better cold chain management.

Adoption of New Technologies: Increased adoption of new technologies such as RFID, IoT, Temperature sensing systems, by players like Zenith Carex and MDS Logistics. Start-ups like cold hubs have emerged that work on cooling as a service model and offer solar powered storage units to tackle the problem of irregular power supply

Increasing Imports of Cold Chain Commodities: Increased demand by pharmaceutical clients was witnessed in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, driven by the higher demand of medicines. Horticulture products, like flowers, also require ambient cold warehousing. The demand for these products decreased during the pandemic due to decreased social gatherings. Since the population of Nigeria is growing at a decent pace, and is expected to double by 2050, we can expect the demand of these substances to grow.

Increase in Investments:  For the last few years the market is witnessing the entry of new innovative players like Cold Hubs. There has been a trend of new investments by international investment funds e.g., Triple I, an investment fund that invests in Sub-Saharan businesses to drive social impact decided to make an investment in the cold chain industry of Nigeria.
