Components for information technology or broadcasting or telecommunications

The market for components for information technology or broadcasting or telecommunications in Gauteng is worth about R34 million, which is a decent size. However, it's not growing, with zero year-over-year growth, so you'll need to compete for existing business. With only 5 suppliers currently serving 3 departments, it's relatively uncrowded, which could be a favourable opportunity for your business. Your B-BBEE level will also play a role, as about 16% of the allocation is set aside for black-owned businesses, so having a good B-BBEE status could give you a competitive edge. If I were you, I'd focus on building relationships with the key departments in Gauteng, such as the Department of Education or the Department of Health, to get a foot in the door and take advantage of this relatively niche market.
