Sports equipment and accessories

The market for sports equipment and accessories in the North West province is worth about R1.4 million, which is a decent size. However, it's not growing at the moment, with zero year-on-year growth, so you'll need to compete for a share of the existing market. It's relatively uncrowded, with only 4 suppliers currently operating in this space, and 3 departments making purchases. To increase your chances of success, consider getting certified as a black-owned, women-owned, or youth-owned business, as these groups receive a significant portion of the allocation, with 81.87% going to black-owned businesses, for example. Now would be a good time to start analysing the current suppliers and departments involved to identify potential opportunities for your business to get a foothold in this market.
