The market for surgical products is relatively small, with a total spend of about R2 billion. Unfortunately, it's not growing, with zero year-on-year growth, which might make it tougher to get a foothold. It's also a very crowded space, with only one supplier currently serving one department, so you'll need to think carefully about how to differentiate your business. The Department of Health, for example, has a strong focus on supporting black-owned businesses, with about 25% of the allocation going to these organisations. If I were you, I'd focus on building relationships with key decision-makers in the Department of Health to understand their needs and see if there's an opportunity to get a favour with them.
