The market for containers and storage is a substantial one, with the government spending about R1 billion on it. This market is relatively stable, with no year-on-year growth, so you won't see a surge in demand, but it's also not shrinking. With 44 suppliers already catering to 19 different departments, it's a fairly crowded space, so you'll need to differentiate your business to stand out. It's worth noting that the government has a strong favour towards businesses with a high black ownership percentage, with about 57% of the allocation going to these organisations. If I were you, I'd focus on building a strong B-BBEE level, particularly black ownership, to increase your chances of securing government contracts in this market.
