Nigeria Dental Care Market Executive Summary

Nigeria's dental care market size is at around $32.29 Mn in 2022 and is projected to reach $xx Mn in 2030, exhibiting a CAGR of xx% during the forecast period 2022-2030. Nigeria is in the West African sub-region and is bounded to the north by Niger, to the northeast by Chad, to the east by Cameroon, and to the west by the Republic of Benin. According to the National Population and Housing Census, Nigeria's population will be 221 Mn in 2021. The United Nations ranks Nigeria as the sixth most populous country, with one of the world's fastest-growing populations. A quarter of the Nigerian population (24.9%) is women of reproductive age (15-49 years), while 31.7% is young people aged 10-24 years. Nigeria has a young population structure: 62% of the population is between the ages of 0 and 24, with a median age of 17.9 years. Life expectancy in Nigeria was 55.75 years by the end of 2021, which was lower than the sub-Saharan African average of 59 years and the lower-middle-income countries' average of 67 years.

Despite being a relatively wealthy country with a population of over 200 Mn people, Nigeria has a relatively underdeveloped healthcare system. The government allocates a small percentage of its budget to healthcare, leading to inadequate funding for the healthcare system. Many parts of the country lack basic healthcare infrastructure, such as hospitals, clinics, and health centers. There is a shortage of healthcare workers, including doctors, nurses, and other medical professionals in Nigeria. Many Nigerians, particularly those living in rural areas, lack access to basic healthcare services. The quality of care provided by the healthcare system is often poor due to a lack of resources, training, and equipment. Nigeria has high rates of infectious diseases, such as malaria and HIV/AIDS, as well as chronic conditions like hypertension and diabetes.

There are around 8,000 dentists in Africa serving over 1.2 Bn people, with 36% of these registered and practicing in Nigeria, a country with an estimated total population of 221 Mn. 60% of youngsters with dental problems do not receive treatment for the ailment. With a dentist-to-population ratio of about 1:150,000, the majority of Africans have little or no access to basic dental health care. This ratio is 1:2000 in most industrialized countries, providing a radically different picture. Dental clinics, whether governmental or commercial, are scarce and unevenly distributed across many African countries. Dental treatment is exceedingly expensive and out of reach for the majority of people in countries where it is accessible. Furthermore, dental clinics emphasize therapeutic rather than preventive care.

 African countries also face issues due to insufficient oral care training and instruction provided to dentistry students and frontline nurses in charge of educating locals about preventive oral healthcare. Given the significant shortage of dentists and oral hygienists in most African countries, health administrators must seek promptly for cost-effective ways to improve the population's oral health. These include risk factors connected with sugar consumption, brushing teeth every morning and night, and having regular dental check-ups beginning in childhood. These three activities assist people in maintaining good dental health. Nutrition also plays a big role in dental health. Sugar-heavy diet and unhealthy food will fill the stomach and eliminate hunger, but will not provide the nutrition your body needs to grow and develop. Governments in African countries can impact and improve population-centered dental care through a focused education program that is geared towards developing habits in children.
