Lagos, Nigeria - Pharma West Africa, the continent's largest international trade event for the pharmaceutical and pharmacy sector, is gearing up for its biggest outing yet. Scheduled to take place from April 14th to 16th at the Landmark Centre, Victoria Island, Lagos, the event promises to bring together over 250 exhibitors from over 50 countries, including Nigeria's closest trading partners and major pharmaceuticals manufacturers.
This year's edition of the event will see a strong representation from international exhibitors, including country pavilions from China, Turkey, Bangladesh, Egypt, India, Vietnam, Canada, the USA, and the Middle East and Europe. In addition, many local medicines manufacturers, suppliers, and importers from Nigeria, Ghana, and the region will be in attendance.
Pharma West Africa has established itself as the go-to event for anyone involved in the medicines and supply chain in Africa. The event has grown significantly since its inception three years ago, with an estimated 4,500 visitors expected to attend this year's edition. This surge in interest is a testament to the growing importance of the pharmaceuticals sector in Nigeria and the West African region.
According to recent estimates, Nigeria's pharmaceuticals sector generated an impressive ₦2.54 trillion (US$1.84bn) in revenue in 2025, with a projected compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.41% over the next five years. The sector's performance is even more impressive when considering the Western African pharmaceuticals market, which achieved a revenue of over ₦4,120 billion (US$2.99bn) in 2025.
Organised by BtoB Events, Pharma West Africa has become a platform for local and international businesses to connect, network, and do business.
