Luggage and handbags and packs and cases

The market for luggage and handbags is a relatively small one, with the government spending about R98 million on these items. This market is not growing, with zero year-on-year growth, which could indicate a challenging environment for new entrants. You'll be competing with a small group of suppliers, only 6 in total, who are currently serving 3 different government departments. It's worth noting that the government has a strong favour towards organisations with a high black ownership percentage, with about 59% of the allocation going to these businesses. If I were you, I'd focus on building a strong Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment programme to increase your chances of securing government contracts in this space.
