Laboratory and scientific equipment

The market for laboratory and scientific equipment is a substantial one, with the government spending about R1.4 billion in this area. However, it's worth noting that this market is not growing, with zero year-on-year growth, which may indicate a saturated market. With only 4 suppliers currently serving 2 departments, it's a relatively small and exclusive group, which could make it challenging to break into. Your business will also need to favour black-owned, women-owned, and youth-owned organisations, as they receive a significant portion of the allocation, with black-owned businesses receiving around 39% of the spend. If I were you, I'd focus on building relationships with these departments and organisations to increase your chances of securing a contract in this competitive market.
