Market Reality

We learn as we progress. ‘A smart person learns from his mistakes, but a truly wise person learns from the mistakes of others.’

 

Below are what we have learnt from our mistakes, and the mistakes made by our associates.

 

What we have found in the market is that many International brands are trying to find ways to create a presence in our market but their approach is trying to find a distributor who will meet their MOQs and find placement for their brand. After a little bit of research through various local distributors, we have found the following:

  • Most mid to high-end International brands fail within the first 2 years

  • Outpriced in the market

  • Distributors and Brand Owners goals should be aligned

  • Distributors over-promise/underdeliver 65% of the time

  • It takes an average of 36 months (Branded Cosmetics, Branded Fashion, Branded appliances) for brands to start noticing stability and consistency in the market.

  • The Lower LSM category uptake has a faster route to market due to its appeal in the mass market. 63% of the market

  • Chain stores are not willing to invest in any international brands that do not already have some footprint in South Africa
