Camping and outdoor equipment and accessories

The market for camping and outdoor equipment and accessories in Gauteng is worth about R484,000, which is a decent size. Unfortunately, it's not growing, with zero year-on-year growth, so you'll need to compete for existing business. It's relatively uncrowded, with only 8 suppliers currently serving 2 departments, which could be a favourable opportunity for your business. Notably, the Department of Trade and Industry's Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment programme is a key consideration, with about 80% of the spend allocated to black-owned businesses, so your B-BBEE level will be important. If I were you, I'd focus on getting your B-BBEE certification in order to take advantage of this market opportunity.
