Professional artists and performers

R2 million government market · 14 suppliers · FY 2025/26

The market for professional artists and performers is a relatively small one, with the government spending about R2.4 million on it. Unfortunately, this market isn't growing, with zero year-on-year growth, which might make it more challenging to get a foothold. You're looking at a fairly exclusive space, with only 14 suppliers currently working with 7 different government departments. It's worth noting that the Department of Arts and Culture, among others, likely plays a significant role in this procurement, and about 39% of the spend is allocated to black-owned businesses, which could be an important factor to consider. If I were you, I'd focus on building relationships with the key departments and understanding their specific needs to increase your chances of success in this market.
