Consumer electronics

The Western Cape government is spending about R6 million on consumer electronics, which is a decent sized market for your business to consider. What's interesting is that this market isn't growing or shrinking, it's staying steady with no year-on-year growth, which could mean it's a stable space to operate in. You'll be competing with about 21 other suppliers, so it's not overly crowded, and you'll have opportunities to work with 9 different government departments. It's also worth noting that the government is favouring businesses with black ownership, with about 73.5% of the allocation going to these organisations. If I were you, I'd make sure your B-BBEE level is in order, particularly if you're a black-owned business, to take advantage of this favourable allocation.
