Lamps and lightbulbs and lamp components

The market for lamps and lightbulbs in the Free State is worth about R575,000, which is a relatively small but stable market as it's not growing or shrinking. You're looking at a fairly exclusive space with only 3 suppliers currently operating in this area, which could be a good thing if you're considering entering the market. The Department of Public Works and other government departments are the main buyers, and they favour organisations that are black-owned, with about 75% of the allocation going to these businesses. If you're a black-owned business, or have a significant black ownership stake, you may have a competitive advantage here. If I were you, I'd look into getting certified as a black-owned business to take advantage of the 75% allocation and increase your chances of securing government contracts in this space.
