Specialized trade construction and maintenance services

The Western Cape's specialized trade construction and maintenance services market is worth about R57 million, which is a decent size for a niche market. What's notable is that this market isn't growing or shrinking, with zero year-on-year growth, so it's a relatively stable space. With only 5 suppliers currently working with 3 departments, it's not an overly crowded market, which could be a good opportunity for your business to get a foothold. It's also worth noting that over half of the spend in this market goes to black-owned businesses, so your B-BBEE level could be an important factor in winning contracts. To get started, you should analyse the current suppliers and departments involved to identify potential gaps in the market that your business could fill.
