Consumer discretionary market items and services are significantly influenced by target consumers’ economic circumstances. The industry includes brick-and-mortar stores, automakers, hospitality, and food service firms.

Nigeria only has a handful of modernized retail malls. The non-oil sector’s rise has led to a larger middle class, which has spawned new waves of consumerism and increased demand for shopping malls and hypermarkets.

The expansion in non-oil private sectors has led to an increase in the number of professionals and managers in high-paying sectors like banking and telecommunications.

Increasingly, sole proprietors of private enterprises have been successful.

Here are Nigeria’s top 5 consumer discretionary stocks.
