Transport services

The transport services market is a relatively small one, with about R620 million in total spend, and it's not showing any signs of growth, with zero year-over-year growth. What's more, it's a very concentrated market, with only one supplier currently serving ten different government departments. This could make it tough to break in, especially considering that the government aims to allocate about 17% of its spend to black-owned, women-owned, and youth-owned businesses. To get a foothold in this market, you should focus on developing a strong Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment programme to improve your B-BBEE level, which could give you a competitive edge. You might want to start by analysing the current supplier's strengths and weaknesses to identify potential gaps in the market that your business could fill.
