Transportation components and systems

The market for transportation components and systems is worth about R65.9 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 a stagnant pie. With 27 suppliers already in the mix, it's a relatively crowded space, and you'll need to differentiate your business to stand out. The Department of Transport and other government departments are among the 28 buyers in this space, and it's worth noting that only about 3.2% of the spend goes to black-owned businesses, so there may be opportunities to gain favour with the government if your business meets certain ownership criteria. If I were you, I'd focus on building relationships with the key departments and understanding their specific needs to increase your chances of winning contracts in this market.
