• Capital/Transport equipment and Metals

• Major opportunity to stimulate manufacturing through reducing import leakage of the public Capex programme and capitalising on the current mining and mineral-processing boom

• Platform to position these sectors as major future exporters onto the rest of the continent and beyond

• Automotives and Components

• SAs leading manufacturing sector, generating strong backward linkages from other sectors, particularly metals, leather, textiles and plastics

• Major opportunity to double current vehicle production to 1.2 million units by 2020 with a corresponding deepening of local content

• Chemicals, Plastic fabrication and Pharmaceuticals

• Major opportunity to increase local beneficiation of polymers, particularly for automotive and packaging applications and leverage state procurement for local production of pharmaceuticals

• Forestry, Pulp and paper, and Furniture

• The sector has the potential to bring jobs and income to poor rural communities

• Increased plantations in EC and KZN in the next 10 years will contribute to the provinces growth and employment and stimulate processing activities, such as sawmilling and furniture
