Why this market is hard

Finding Healthcare and Life Sciences
distributors in Nigeria
the usual way.

There is no reliable published list of pharmaceuticals, medical devices, diagnostics, consumables and MedTech distributors in Nigeria. Commercial directories are thin and out of date, trade association membership tells you who pays dues rather than who performs, and the companies easiest to find are the ones with the best marketing rather than the best operations.

Regional trading hubs have their own pricing and their own wholesale structures. Strength in Lagos says very little about strength in the South East or the North. Product registration is typically held by the importer, and foreign exchange access is a distributor capability rather than a market condition. Working all of that out from scratch is six weeks of desk research and a shortlist you cannot fully defend. It is the reason this work has traditionally cost what it costs.

📍
Coverage is a claim, not a fact
Across Lagos, Onitsha and Aba, Kano, and Port Harcourt, we record warehouse locations, fleet and sales headcount separately rather than accepting a national coverage statement.
🔐
The term that decides everything
A distributor holding your product registration in their own name controls your market access. Changing partner can mean re-registering from the beginning. We record it as a field so you see it before you shortlist, not after you sign.
⚠️
Portfolio conflicts
We hold the full brand list each distributor carries, not the highlights, so a competing line in your category surfaces during screening rather than eighteen months in.

How it works

Brief in.
Ranked shortlist out.

01
Describe what you are selling
Write the brief in plain language — the product, the channel you need, the coverage that matters, your position on exclusivity. Hub reads it and proposes weighted criteria, which you can see and adjust before anything is scored.
02
Every distributor scored, not a selection
Scoring runs across every healthcare distributor we hold in Nigeria, on the same fields, with the reasoning shown per result. Nobody can pay to outrank a better fit, and that commitment is published.
03
Build the shortlist yourself
Filter, compare side by side, check portfolio conflicts, and export what you need. Ninety days of access, unlimited briefs, so you can run the question again as your thinking changes.
04
Take it further if you want to
Introductions, negotiation support, market visit facilitation and go-to-market planning are run by our consulting practice when the work goes past the shortlist.
