Fuels

The market for fuels in KwaZulu Natal is a significant one, with the government spending about R88 million on it. This market is relatively stable, with no year-on-year growth, so you won't see it expanding rapidly. With 63 suppliers already catering to 9 different government departments, it's a fairly crowded space, so you'll need to differentiate your business to stand out. It's also worth noting that the government has set aside a portion of this spend for businesses owned by black, women, and youth entrepreneurs, with black-owned businesses favoured for about 17% of the allocation. If I were you, I'd focus on building relationships with the key government departments in KwaZulu Natal, such as the Department of Transport, to increase your chances of securing a contract in this competitive market.
