Lubricants and oils and greases and anti corrosives

The market for lubricants and oils in KwaZulu Natal is worth about R186 million, which is a significant opportunity for your business. However, it's worth noting that this market isn't growing, with zero year-on-year growth, so you'll need to compete for existing contracts. With only 4 suppliers currently serving 10 different government departments, it's relatively uncrowded, which could favour your organisation if you can offer a competitive solution. The fact that there's no allocation for black-owned, women-owned, or youth-owned businesses in this sector means you'll need to compete on other merits. If I were you, I'd focus on building relationships with the 10 government departments in KwaZulu Natal to understand their specific needs and see where your business can add value.
