This is a first pass, not a complete map of the market. Absence of a record here is not evidence that nothing applies. Nothing in this brief carries a named expert's judgement yet, so every reading is a document or a measurement, never somebody's experience of selling here.
Survivable, but you pay for it in margin, rework or returns.
No single language reaches half of Niger. The widest is Hausa at 41%, then Zarma at 17% and French at 13%. 1 language holds official status nationally or in at least one region.
Which language leads on the pack decides how much of the market can read what it is buying.
Not fatal. Enough to make a launch feel harder than it should.
Prices in Niger are quoted in whole XOF: the currency carries no decimal places in circulation, so a 9.99 price point does not exist and the psychological break has to move up to a whole unit.
A price architecture built on two decimal places does not survive the move to a currency without them.
