Consumer electronics

The consumer electronics market in Mpumalanga is relatively small, with a total spend of about R180,000, which hasn't changed much from last year. This market is quite niche, with only 3 suppliers currently serving 3 departments, so it's not overly crowded. It's worth noting that the Department of Trade and Industry's Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment programme is a key consideration here, with a significant portion of the allocation going to black-owned businesses, at about 73.5%. If you're considering entering this market, you'll want to ensure your organisation is well-positioned to favour these ownership requirements. If I were you, I'd review your B-BBEE level and ownership structure to see how you can best compete for these contracts.
