Published on August 2009

Report Summary

Datamonitor's South Africa Country Analysis Report analyzes the political, economic, social, technological, legal and environmental
(PESTLE) structure of South Africa. The report provides a holistic view of the country from historical, current and future perspectives.
Insightful analysis on critical current and future issues is presented through detailed SCPT (strengths, challenges, prospects and
threats/risks) analysis for each of the PESTLE segments. In addition, the PESTLE segments are supplemented with relevant
quantitative data to support trend analysis.

Uses of Country Analysis Reports:

Understanding gained from country profiles can be used to plan business investment or market entry in a particular country. The
insights provide ideas about key business opportunities. The profiles also provide an overview of the legal and regulatory framework
to start or operate a business in the country. Typical uses of each PESTLE segment are:
' Political section provides understanding about the political system and key figures relevant to business in the country and
governance indicators.
' Economic section deals with the economic story of a country that provides a balanced assessment of significant macro-economic
issues.
' Social section enables understanding of customer demographics through income distribution, rural-urban segmentation and centres
of affluence, healthcare and educational scenario.
' Technological section provides strategic information on technology and telecom, technological laws and policies, technological gaps,
patents and opportunity sectors in the country.
' Legal section provides information about the legal structure, corporate laws, laws to start a new business and the tax regime.
' Environmental section provides information on the country's performance on environmental indicators and policies.
