South Africa - Lighthouse of Africa
Description:
South Africa has a population of 51 million with nearly 49% of the total population under 24 years of age.
World Bank has classified South Africa as a upper middle income economy which would drive the country’s
domestic spending.
South Africa’s domestic IT consumption is increasing as a result of various government projects like E-Health,
e-governance and infrastructure projects. SMB’s in South Africa have a relatively high IT adoption rate with
nearly 63% of the SMB’s having their own websites. Government initiatives like Accelerated and Shared
Growth Initiative for SMB’s would give further impetus for IT adoption. IT/ITeS, automobile, retail, banking
and real estate sectors are growing at a positive rate. Meanwhile, Macro KPIs are experiencing pressure as a
result of various factors like decreasing exports, rising NPA’s and rising unemployment. Corruption is
relatively low as compared to other countries such as Nigeria and Indonesia, but the country still lacks a
dedicated anti-corruption agency to oversee corruption rules and charges. Despite this South Africa ranks
highest among the African countries in terms of ease of doing business and would attract investors from
around the world.
'South Africa - Lighthouse of Africa' provides insights on South Africa's macro-economics, demographics,
labor markets, key industry verticals and IT market landscape. The reportwill serve as a one-stop shop for
