The market for live animals is a relatively small one, with about R1.5 million in total spend recorded. What's interesting is that this market doesn't seem to be growing or shrinking, with zero year-on-year growth. It's also a fairly exclusive space, with only 6 suppliers currently working with the single department that's procuring these services. In terms of opportunities for your business, it's worth noting that there's a significant emphasis on supporting black-owned, women-owned, and youth-owned businesses, with over 40% of the spend going to black-owned businesses. If you're considering entering this market, I'd recommend taking a close look at your B-BBEE level and how it might impact your chances of securing contracts with this department.
