South Africa’s previously flourishing clothing industry suffered a serious downturn during the late 1990s with many local companies having to shut operations. Difficult manufacturing conditions, lack of government support and the huge influx of clothing made in China, India and Bangladesh were the main reasons for this. In fact China is still the largest exporter of textile globally, with India at third place. However, the industry has begun to show signs of recovery especially from a retail perspective with revenues generated from the sales of textiles, clothing, footwear and leather goods in South Africa, expected to increase from 11.5 billion in 2016 to over 17.5 billion in 2023. An incentive program initiated by the country’s Department of Trade and Industry in 2009, to make the domestic textile and clothing industry more competitive, has played a key role in this retail and wholesale recovery. Local manufacturing is gathering steam across many sectors including clothing as the government promotes Made in South Africa labels. Retailers have also started supporting domestic sourcing, which in turn allows them to respond more positively and quickly to dynamic market trends and diminishes their exposure to currency fluctuations. E-commerce is experiencing robust growth in the country, mainly due to lower prices and overall convenience. As a result online fashion sales are expected to emerge as the second largest e-Commerce category in the country by 2023, just behind electronics and media.

Although the South African motor vehicles industry witnessed robust growth between 2011-2016, revenues are projected to rise only marginally between 2016-2023, owing to the falling demand for passenger cars, rising unemployment rate and low consumer and business confidence. Moreover, rising fuel prices have also affected sales over the past few years. The price of a litre gasoline in the country was 4.29 U.S. dollars in the fourth quarter of 2019, 1.5 times higher than the price in the U.S. However, vehicle exports have been on the rise, which account for the major revenue share in this industry. In 2019, a record breaking 386,863 units were exported, amounting to 11.4 billion U.S. dollars. Industry experts were predicting similar sales for 2020, but the outbreak of the Covid-19 has caused severe disruptions and exports are expected to take a bit of a hit in the short to medium term. Vehicle exports for the month of February have already witnessed an 8 percent year-over-year decline.

Over the years South Africa’s food and beverage retail sector has benefitted immensely from its robust indigenous manufacturing capabilities, which provide it with high quality and niche products. Contributing in no small measure to the success of this industry are the country’s advanced capabilities in agriculture and agro-processing, thereby making South Africa the leading food and beverage market in the entire African continent. It also has the third highest number of tobacco users in Africa. Total revenues of retail trade in food, beverages and tobacco in specialised stores are expected to increase from 5.5 billion U.S. dollars in 2016 to around 6.5 billion U.S. dollars in 2023. One of the reasons for this tepid growth is a drastic reduction in the number of people consuming tobacco products in the country. In fact according to a 2018 Statista survey, as many as 68% of the respondents did not consume cigarettes/tobacco regularly. Another reason is the country’s sluggish economic growth, which has affected the retail sector as a whole.
