Printing and publishing equipment

The market for printing and publishing equipment is a substantial one, with the government spending about R23 million on it. This market is relatively stable, with no year-on-year growth, so you won't see it expanding or shrinking dramatically. It's also a fairly crowded space, with 112 suppliers competing for contracts from 38 different government departments. Notably, the government favours businesses with a strong black economic empowerment programme, with about 76% of the allocation going to black-owned businesses. If I were you, I'd focus on developing a robust black economic empowerment strategy to increase your chances of securing a contract in this competitive market.
