Camping and outdoor equipment and accessories

The market for camping and outdoor equipment and accessories in the Western Cape is worth about R267 thousand, which is a relatively small market. 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 17 suppliers already in the mix, it's a fairly crowded space, but it's worth noting that the government is prioritising businesses with a strong black economic empowerment profile, with about 80% of the spend going to black-owned businesses. To get a foot in the door, you should focus on ensuring your B-BBEE level is up to date and favourable, as this will give you a better chance of securing government contracts. Consider getting your organisation's B-BBEE certification in order to take advantage of the government's procurement preferences.
