I summarize a recent study aimed at constraining dust evolution timescales in nearby galaxies. We were able to quantify the effciency of dust condensation in SN II ejecta, grain growth in the ISM and dust destruction by SN II blast waves. Around Solar metallicity, our results are consistent with what we know in the Milky Way, that is dust production is dominated by grain growth. We however show that this changes with metallicity. The dust content in very-low-metallicity systems is dominated by grains that have formed in SN II ejecta. I end this article with a discussion about the potential of NIKA2 to study dust evolution in galaxies.
