Packing supplies

Your business is looking at the packing supplies market in KwaZulu Natal, which is worth about R677,000. This market is relatively small and not growing, with zero year-over-year growth, so you'll need to be strategic to get a foothold. With only 16 suppliers currently serving the 2 departments that buy these supplies, it's a fairly exclusive group, but not overly crowded. The Department of Health and the Department of Education are likely the main buyers, so understanding their needs will be key. If I were you, I'd focus on building relationships with these departments to increase your chances of winning contracts in this stagnant market.
