87% of these firms rely on water products as their sole revenue stream while the remaining 13% are more diversified in their product offering.

Development in sectors like transport, infrastructure, fuel prices, innovation, and regulation also impact the cost of trade. The market is restrained by high fuel cost, old technology, and expensive manpower.

Top 5 states are, Lagos (42 registered companies), Oyo state (28), Federal Capital Territory (23), Kaduna (20) and Imo (15).
