The market for domestic appliances in the Western Cape is worth about R1.5 million, which is a decent size. Unfortunately, it's not growing, with zero year-on-year growth, so you'll need to compete for existing business. The market is relatively uncrowded, with only 19 suppliers currently working with 7 different government departments in the province. It's also worth noting that the government is favouring businesses with strong black economic empowerment credentials, with over 81% of the allocation going to black-owned businesses. If I were you, I'd focus on getting your B-BBEE level in order to take advantage of the government's procurement programme in this space.
