Measuring and observing and testing instruments

R179K government market · 4 suppliers · FY 2025/26

The market for measuring and observing and testing instruments is about R179 million, which is a decent size. Unfortunately, it's not growing, with zero year-on-year growth, so you'll need to compete for a share of the existing pie. It's a relatively uncrowded space, with only 4 suppliers currently serving 3 government departments. Your black economic empowerment level will be important here, as about 53% of the spend goes to black-owned businesses. If I were you, I'd focus on building relationships with these departments and ensuring your organisation meets the necessary black-owned business requirements to get a favour in this market.
