Dental equipment and supplies

The market for dental equipment and supplies in Gauteng is worth about R27 million, with the government spending a significant amount in this space. However, it's worth noting that the market is not growing, with zero year-on-year growth, which could indicate a saturated market. With 63 suppliers already catering to the needs of just one department, it's a relatively crowded space. Your business will also need to compete for a share of the R8 million or so allocated to black-owned businesses, which make up about 31% of the total spend. To get a foothold in this market, you should start by ensuring your organisation is properly certified and compliant with the relevant B-BBEE requirements, which will give you a better chance of securing government contracts.
