Lubricants and oils and greases and anti corrosives

The market for lubricants and oils in Gauteng is a substantial one, with the government spending about R137 million on these products. However, it's worth noting that this market isn't growing, as the year-over-year growth is zero, which might indicate a saturated market. With only 5 suppliers currently serving 13 different departments, it's a relatively exclusive space, which could make it challenging to break into. Unfortunately, the current allocation doesn't favour smaller companies or those with specific black economic empowerment characteristics, as there's no allocation for black, women, or youth-owned businesses. If I were you, I'd focus on building relationships with the existing departments and trying to understand their specific needs to find an opportunity to enter this market.
