Exterior finishing materials

The market for exterior finishing materials in the Eastern Cape is worth about R1.8 million, which is a decent size. However, it's not growing, with zero year-on-year growth, so you'll need to compete for a share of the existing market. It's relatively uncrowded, with only 8 suppliers currently operating in this space, and only 1 department to deal with. You should also note that the government is favouring businesses with strong black economic empowerment credentials, with about 96% of the allocation going to black-owned businesses. If I were you, I'd focus on getting your black economic empowerment level in order to increase your chances of securing a contract in this market.
