Light weapons and ammunition
R2 million government market · 3 suppliers · FY 2025/26
The market for light weapons and ammunition is a significant one, with the government spending about R1.97 billion on it. This market is relatively stable, with no year-on-year growth, and it's quite concentrated, with only 3 suppliers currently serving 2 government departments. It's also worth noting that the government has a strong focus on supporting black-owned, women-owned, and youth-owned businesses in this space, with a significant portion of the spend allocated to these groups. The fact that 43.86% of the spend goes to black-owned businesses, for example, shows a clear favour towards empowering these organisations. If I were you, I'd consider partnering with a black-owned business to increase your chances of securing a contract in this market.
