The Consumer Goods sector has been on a remarkable run in 2025, posting a year-to-date gain of 83.85% and leading all sectors on the Nigerian Exchange.
Tracked by the NGX Consumer Goods Index, the sector opened the year at 1,731.7 points and has already seen over 6.9 billion shares traded, jumping to 3,183.7 points so far.
Analysts attribute the surge mainly to the solid operational performance of companies in the sector during the first half of 2025, which boosted profitability and helped lift investor confidence as foreign exchange pressures from 2024 eased.
