Printing and publishing equipment

R23 million government market · 112 suppliers · FY 2025/26

The market for printing and publishing equipment is a significant one, with the government spending around R23 million on it. This market is relatively stable, with no year-on-year growth, so you won't see it expanding rapidly. You'll be competing with about 112 other suppliers for contracts from 38 different government departments, so it's a fairly crowded space. It's also worth noting that the government favours organisations with a strong black economic empowerment programme, with about 76% of the allocation going to black-owned businesses. If I were you, I'd focus on building a strong B-BBEE level and networking with key decision-makers in the Department of Communications and other major departments to get a foothold in this market.
