NGIn the first half of 2026, the ten largest fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) manufacturing companies in Nigeria saw a significant rise in profitability, with their combined profit after tax (PAT) increasing by 35% to N601.74 billion, despite overall revenue growing by less than 1%. This improvement in profits is attributed to better cost control, reduced financing pressures, and enhanced operational efficiency.

Meanwhile, International Breweries experienced a slight drop in PAT despite stable revenue.
