Printing and publishing equipment

The market for printing and publishing equipment in the North West province is worth about R28 million, which is a decent size. Unfortunately, it's not growing, with zero year-on-year growth, so you'll need to compete for a share of the existing market. With only 14 suppliers currently active in this space, it's relatively uncrowded, and the fact that 76% of the allocation goes to black-owned businesses is a significant favour to organisations that meet this criteria. The Department of Education and other government departments are likely to be key clients, given the nature of the equipment. If I were you, I'd focus on building relationships with these departments and ensuring your business meets the black ownership criteria to increase your chances of securing contracts.
