The market for light weapons and ammunition in Gauteng is worth about R1 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 a relatively small pool of suppliers, with only 4 companies currently providing to the single department involved, so it's not overly crowded. The Department of Defence is likely the main buyer here, and it's worth noting that they favour suppliers with a strong black economic empowerment programme, with about 44% of the spend going to black-owned businesses. If I were you, I'd make sure your organisation has a solid B-BBEE level and a clear understanding of the Department of Defence's procurement needs before trying to enter this market.
