  • Sector Study Logistics South Africa
    SECTOR STUDY: LOGISTICS - SOUTH AFRICA Commissioned by the Netherlands Enterprise Agency SECTOR STUDY: LOGISTICS Final Report 30 March 2020 1 GAIN Group (Pty) Ltd Executive Summary The South African logistics sector supports the second-largest economy on the continent, and is relatively sophisticated. Local and international companies use South Africa as gateway for their operations into Africa. However, under-investment in maintenance and infrastructure development has created challenges for the efficiency of the logistics system. While hampering efficiency, this aspect at the same time presents opportunity for improvement and investment. This document summarises the results of an investigation into opportunities for Dutch companies to do business in South Africa. It is based on a review of knowledge of the sector, as well as interviews with Dutch and South African stakeholders. The study focused on industry-level interviews to gain the best possible perspective within the scope and time frame of the project. While it does not outline firm-to-firm opportunities, the study summarises needs in the logistics sector as expressed by South African stakeholders, as well as opportunities or current initiatives identified by Dutch role players. Some key findings are as follows: South Africa's logistics landscape is the most sophisticated on the continent. However, logistics takes place in an environment of neglected maintenance and accompanying infrastructure degradation, and relatively high logistics costs. This inefficient environment provides inherent opportunities for improvement and optimisation. At present, many organisations in South Africa do not have the skills to utilise digital technologies effectively. This represents a significant opportunity for digital skills development and knowledge transfer regarding the benefits of these technologies across the logistics sector.
