Accommodation furniture

The market for accommodation furniture in KwaZulu Natal is worth about R5.3 million, which is a decent size. However, it's not growing at the moment, with zero year-on-year growth, so you'll need to compete for a share of the existing market. With 42 suppliers already in the mix, it's a fairly crowded space, but it's worth noting that the Department of Trade and Industry's Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment programme is favouring black-owned businesses, which make up about 74% of the allocation. The Department of Public Works and other government departments are likely to be key clients in this space. If I were you, I'd focus on building relationships with these departments and smaller companies, particularly those that are black-owned, women-owned, or youth-owned, to increase your chances of securing a contract.
