Printed media

Your business is looking at a market for printed media in Mpumalanga that's worth about R126 million, which is a decent size. The market is not growing or shrinking, as it's showing zero year-over-year growth, so you can expect a steady demand. With only 15 suppliers currently serving 5 government departments, it's relatively uncrowded, which could be a favourable opportunity for you to get in. The government is also prioritising businesses with a strong black economic empowerment programme, with about 69% of the allocation going to black-owned businesses. If I were you, I'd make sure your organisation has a solid black economic empowerment programme in place to increase your chances of securing government contracts in this space.
