Paper products

Your business is looking at the paper products market in Mpumalanga, which is worth about R70 million. This market is relatively stable, with no year-over-year growth, so you won't have to worry about it shrinking or exploding anytime soon. With 64 suppliers already in the mix, it's a fairly crowded space, but there are only 8 government departments buying these products, so it's still possible to build relationships with the key decision-makers. The Department of Education and the Department of Health are likely to be big players in this market, given their typical needs for paper products. If I were you, I'd focus on building a strong relationship with these departments to get a foothold in this market.
