Clothing

The clothing market in Gauteng is a substantial one, with the government spending about R14.5 million on it. This market is relatively stable, with no year-on-year growth, which could indicate that it's not getting more competitive in terms of overall spend. You're looking at a space with 43 suppliers already, so it's not overly crowded, but you will need to favour organisations that are black-owned, as they receive about 66% of the allocation, with women-owned and youth-owned businesses also getting a significant share. The fact that the Department of Defence, Department of Health, and Department of Education are among the buyers, means you'll need to tailor your programme to meet their specific needs. If I were you, I'd analyse the current suppliers and their offerings to identify a gap in the market that your business can fill, particularly if you're a black-owned, women-owned, or youth-owned business.
