The market for compounds and mixtures is worth about R569 thousand, which is a relatively small but established space. Notably, this market has shown no year-over-year growth, indicating it's not expanding at the moment. With 37 suppliers already catering to just one department, it's a fairly crowded field, and to stand out, your business will need to have a strong value proposition. In terms of opportunities, it's worth noting that about 31% of the spend in this market goes to black-owned businesses, which could be an important factor to consider when positioning your organisation. To get a foothold in this market, you should start by analysing the specific needs of the single department that's driving all the demand and tailor your approach accordingly.
