The document discusses South Africa's vision to manufacture 1.2 million vehicles locally by 2020. It outlines the history of sector development policies in South Africa's automotive industry since 1959 and highlights key objectives of growth plans like the MIDP to significantly increase local production and value addition. The challenges of achieving this vision are also examined, including the need to boost international competitiveness through factors like lower costs, infrastructure development, skills training, and stable industrial relations. Localization is identified as a strategic pillar to realize the manufacturing target through increasing local content and the use of global suppliers.
This document discusses factors to consider when assessing national business environments and potential markets for international business. It identifies political, legal, economic, infrastructure, and competitive factors to evaluate in countries. It also provides examples of how to measure potential in industrialized markets like market size, growth, and consumption capacity, and in emerging markets like infrastructure, economic freedom, and country risk. Secondary sources of country data and methods of primary research like surveys, interviews, and trade shows are also reviewed.
This document reviews India's Automotive Mission Plan 2006-2016. It aimed to make India a global automotive design and manufacturing hub with $145B in output and 25M additional jobs by 2016. While growth was strong from 2006-2011, the global slowdown from 2011-2014 resulted in lower growth across most vehicle segments except two-wheelers. The review analyzes performance versus targets for key segments like passenger vehicles, commercial vehicles, three-wheelers, two-wheelers and components. Interventions like tariff policies, infrastructure development and R&D support helped but targets were not fully achieved due to variations in assumptions and the economic slowdown.
The document analyzes the automotive sector in South Africa by examining key indicators such as exports, imports, and the sector's importance to GDP. It finds that while exports of vehicles and components have increased since 2005, imports remain larger. The regulatory environment for the sector has evolved from using local content requirements to providing export incentives. There are opportunities to modernize production techniques, serve growing regional markets, and leverage South Africa's incentives, resources, and infrastructure to attract more investment in the automotive industry.
Factors that affect the demand and supply of automobiles are discussed. Demand is impacted by price, availability of financing, income levels, quality of public transportation, advertising, consumer tastes, fuel prices, income distribution, economic growth, and technology. Supply is affected by price, costs of production, technology improvements, taxes, and disruptions in the supply chain. The COVID-19 pandemic significantly decreased automobile sales due to lockdowns but later increased demand as people sought private vehicles for safety, and disrupted supply chains due to import issues.
The document discusses Tata Motors introducing its Winger model in the Malaysian market. It notes that Malaysia has strong growth in passenger vehicles and government support for new partnerships. The Winger is suitable for the Malaysian market as it can be used as a passenger or utility vehicle, filling a gap between other classes. Tata would partner with local company DRB-Hicom, assembling the Winger in Malaysia with local parts to reduce costs and comply with regulations.

This document provides an economic risk monitor for the province of KwaZulu-Natal and its regions in South Africa. It analyzes 8 economic risk variables, such as exchange rates, inflation, commodity prices, and calculates a weighted index to assess overall economic risk. The analysis finds that in the 1st quarter of 2014, economic risk in the province remained fairly constant compared to 2013, but the outlook was deteriorating due to most variables. It suggests a similar economic growth rate for the province in 2014 as in 2013 due to the worsening risk outlook and business/consumer confidence deficit. Economic risk was highest in the Durban and Pietermaritzburg regions and lowest in Richards Bay and Ilembe.

Dube TradePort is a large airport development project in South Africa consisting of four business zones: Dube Cargo Terminal, Dube TradeZone, Dube City, and Dube AgriZone. The cargo terminal handles 100,000 tonnes of cargo annually using advanced technology and has a record of zero cargo loss. It aims to expand cargo handling capacity to 2 million tonnes by 2060. Dube TradePort provides infrastructure and facilities to support logistics, manufacturing, and agriculture businesses. Its location near Durban and access to air, road, and rail transport makes it well positioned to drive economic growth in KwaZulu-Natal province.
The document analyzes the average time delay between when building plans are approved and completed in South Africa at the national and provincial levels in KwaZulu-Natal. It finds that on average, building plans take 12 months to be completed after approval nationally, but 16 months provincially in KwaZulu-Natal. The time delay is 4-5 months longer on average for plans to be completed provincially compared to nationally. The analysis also breaks down the results by different categories of buildings like residential, offices, and industrial facilities.
Dube TradePort Precinct in Durban, South Africa offers several development zones and support services:
- The cargo terminal provides secure air cargo access alongside office, retail, and industrial space. Support includes on-site IT infrastructure, logistics services, and airport connections.
- A 60-year masterplan envisions an "Airport City" development with increased connectivity and sustainable land uses around King Shaka International Airport.
- The Aerotropolis framework guides development of the Dube TradeZone for aviation-linked logistics and manufacturing tenants.
The document is a response from the Durban Chamber of Commerce and Industry to the recommendations of a Ministerial Task Team on improving the performance of Sector Education and Training Authorities (SETAs) in South Africa. It provides feedback on 17 recommendations, generally supporting recommendations for tighter oversight of SETAs and funding priorities focused on skills needs of established businesses. However, it opposes recommendations that would increase the role of the National Skills Fund or consolidate the number of SETAs. The response aims to ensure SETAs prioritize skills development for their sectors and addresses issues like inefficient use of funds and late payments to stakeholders.
