OPPORTUNITIES Regional industrial integration and new export markets Sustained and concerted regional growth is arguably the biggest stimulus to long-term growth in South Africa. A number of on going and scaled-up interventions are in the pipeline. These include: planning cross-border infrastructure; effective articulation of up- and downstream linkages in resource exploitation; and the realisation of massive construction opportunities. Continuing rapid progress in the regional integration drive will, however, require stronger identification of complementarities and cross-border value chains; the strengthening of existing export market research; market and product identification; and an export promotion drive built around strategic domestic manufacturers. BRICS South Africa s participation in the BRICS provides important opportunities to build its domestic manufacturing base, enhance value-added exports, promote technology sharing, support small business development and expand trade and investment opportunities. 8
TARGET SECTORS Aligned with sectors already prioritised in the basket of broader industrialisation and growth initiatives undertaken by the government The sectors, include a mix of high, medium and low value addition activities. The sectors also have a strong domestic firm base of both large and small producers. Advanced Manufacturing Boatbuilding & associated services Electro-technical (incl. Software & White Goods) Aerospace & Defence Clothing, Textiles, Leather & Footwear Metal Fabrication, Capital & Rail Transport Equipment Agro-processing (incl. Food/Beverages & Furniture) Cultural and Creative Industries Plastics, Pharmaceuticals, Chemicals and Cosmetics Automotives Green Industries Services 9
MARKET SELECTION CRITERIA These markets are then prioritized using the following criteria: The extent of competition present from countries with a similar basket of products The long term market potential of the country concerned The scope and nature of market access problems in developing that potential The country s importance, relative to others, as a source of investment The country s development strategy and its fit with South Africa s The degree of fit between the country s multilateral strategy and South Africa s The country s geopolitical strategy, with respect to its region and the world, and whether this coheres with South Africa s The interest of the South African private sector in that market South Africa s ability to compete effectively in this market The findings point to maintaining exports to traditional trading partners, while looking at emerging markets; in particular looking at other African countries as areas for expansion in trade. 10
