Which business is currently too saturated in your country?

Niyi Briggs · Jul 13, 2023

There are some businesses that people do and you would be wondering if they even make money from it? That's because that kind of business is too much and very concentrated within a locality.

Such businesses can just be situated within a stone throw of each other. They still thrive though.

Which business do you think is saturated in your locality or area. For me, it is tailoring shop. My street is just a kilometer but they are more that 20 tailoring shops on the street.

For me it's the provisions shops as we call it here. On a small street you can see more than 10 shops there. it is one very saturated business here in my location

There are a large number of pharmacies in the area where I live , they may be doing good business because it is very densely populated, with a large number of people falling sick.

It is true that the retail grocery shops are very saturated in our part of the world. Almost every compound has it's own small grocery shop. That is why I can never do such a business.

As it stands at the moment, in my country, the point of sale business (p.o.s) is actually taking a new turn, because almost everyone I know are currently doing a point of sale business, it has saturated all over the place.

The agency banking is so saturated and it is not sweet again. But why do my countrymen and women rush into any thriving business and end up spoiling the business for everyone. That is why SME should have barriers to entry.

It seems almost all businesses are saturated in my place. Pharmacies are just everywhere but I think all of them make sufficient sales though. Barbing and hair dressing salons too are saturated.

I believe one of such business is frame business. These days we have a lot of young girls that have little to no idea about how it works, the way they go about it is becoming too much.

Well at the moment provision stores are very much saturated in the country as every corner you turn to is filled with provision store and even at that more are still trying to open up another one but that is not all.

Which one is frame business? I don't seem to have an idea about this kind of business. Fruits selling is also slowly becoming saturated. So many young girls are trying to sell fruits nowadays.

Not really. It becomes saturated to a point where people put in their money and run at a loss just to keep the pharmacy open. I always try to avoid such locations when working.

I think eateries are getting saturated in my area. There are too many restaurants, fast food shops, noodle shops and Japanese restaurants. Some are able to maintain their business for many years, while a few just opened for 2-3 years and they closed because there are not enough customers.

Frame business is actually the enlargement of photos into photo frames. There are lots of people into this, especially girls. Its making the job abit difficult for we editors most times.

I don't know but it seems like the fashion designing and tailoring business is getting saturated in my area. You would see 3 tailoring shops on the same blog but they are still thriving though.

SHAHID987 · May 14, 2024

Chicken business is too much saturated here, as every third shop is of chicken shop. Initially people earned good money with it when the shops were average but nowadays it is very difficult to earn from it.

In our province, there are many gasoline stations, both big and small. I am surprised to see so many businesses in this industry, and even more surprised that new ones continue to open despite the saturation. Some of the older businesses have closed down due to stiff competition.

Stardom22 · May 14, 2024

ln my country, the business that is too Saturated here is the grocery stores. Everyone that thinks of starting business would embark on that one.

I think cement business, especially manufacturing industries, are highly saturated in the country. Most of the industries are not doing good

In my country, no matter the number of gasoline stations you have, it can never be enough. That's one business that can never be saturated in my country.

May be in cities but here where I live in a semi rural town a bit of everything is found but nothing where I can say there are far too many set ups
