Clothing

The Eastern Cape clothing market is a substantial one, with the government spending about R6.4 million on clothing procurements. This market is relatively stable, with no year-on-year growth, so you can expect a consistent demand for your products. With only 32 suppliers currently servicing this market across 6 departments, it's not overly crowded, giving your business a good chance to stand out. It's also worth noting that the government has a strong favour towards businesses with a high black ownership percentage, with about 66% of the allocation going to these organisations. If I were you, I'd focus on building relationships with the key departments in the Eastern Cape, such as the Department of Education and Health, to increase your chances of securing a contract.
