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, 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 active in this space, and only 3 government departments to deal with. Black-owned businesses are favoured, with about 82% of the allocation going to them, so if your business fits that criteria, you may have an advantage. If I were you, I'd focus on building relationships with those 3 departments, such as the Department of Sports and Recreation, to get a foot in the door and increase your chances of securing a contract.
