Business Perspectives on Emerging Markets 2012-2017

Global survey (South Africa results) June 2012 June 2012

According to the findings in GIA’s Business Perspectives on Emerging Markets 2012-2017 Report, South African companies prefer to focus on the African continent when investing in Emerging Markets - 39% picked South Africa while over 50% listed Nigeria as their target markets. Twenty-two percent of the global companies surveyed said that South Africa is also one of their top target markets to 2017, promising more competition from foreign players on South African turf.

South African companies’ Emerging Markets strategies are primarily driven by the desire to gain a foothold in future large markets, diversify risks, and tap into short to medium-term growth/profit. Thirty-nine percent believe there is a lack of growth/profit in established markets while 28% acknowledge that they have customers and competitors in Emerging Markets.

With this study, we share the strategic ambitions, concerns and challenges facing South African companies in other fast-moving markets. I wish you an insightful read, and welcome any thoughts you might want to share with me and my colleagues around the world. Our mission is to help companies understand, compete and grow in international markets.

Summary: South African companies prefer to invest in Emerging Markets in Africa They lag behind global peers in using market intelligence, resulting in delays in decision making

Emerging Markets focus and expectations

•  Nigeria, India and China are the three most important Emerging Markets for South African companies to 2017, with South Africa coming in fourth.

•  South African companies’ Emerging Markets strategies are primarily driven by the desire to gain a foothold in future large markets and increase market share. Access to customers is the biggest single Emerging Markets success factor across industries.

•  Most of the secondary Emerging Markets that South African companies plan to target in 2012-2017 are in developing economies. South African companies will choose more Asian countries as their Emerging Markets in the next five years.

•  India and China are amongst most important Emerging Markets for South African companies to 2017.

Motivations and concerns

•  All the South African companies surveyed said they should have entered Emerging Markets more quickly, and almost 40% said they would have made greater efforts to conduct intelligence/due diligence better.

•  The Technology sector expects the most growth in Emerging Markets, followed by the Logistics and Chemicals sectors.

•  The top industries for Emerging Markets include Chemicals (27% of respondents list South Africa as a destination of choice), followed by Financial Services (18%) and Automotive (19%).

•  South African companies appreciate the value of market intelligence. 94% said that accurate market sizing and growth estimates are critical to their Emerging Markets strategies. However, only 39% use market intelligence to support their decisions regarding Emerging Markets, versus a global average of 55%.

How can South African companies succeed in Emerging Markets in 2012-2017?

•  In April-May 2012, GIA conducted an online survey of business managers at 431 large and mid-sized companies around the world, 18 of which were headquartered in South Africa.

•  We asked them questions such as: •  How do you define Emerging Markets in your company? •  Which are the top Emerging Markets for your industry over the next five years? •  What key factors will determine whether foreign companies succeed in Emerging Markets? •  What are the biggest barriers to succeeding in Emerging Markets? •  What are your company’s main reasons for investing in Emerging Markets? •  What share of your company’s global revenue do you expect to come from Emerging Markets? •  Which single aspect of your Emerging Markets strategy would you revisit and change if you could?

•  The South African respondents’ primary job functions included senior management/market or competitive intelligence (33%); research and development/product management (11%); strategic planning/business development/sales and marketing (6%) and others.

•  Forty-four percent of the South African companies in the survey earned more than R10.6 billion ($1.3 billion) in annual revenue, and over 50% have more than 1 000 employees each.

•  See Appendix for more details about the survey sample.

18 South African companies revealed what drives their strategy How do companies target different Emerging Markets and have they been successful so far?

•  Unlike global companies which choose BRIC as their top four markets, South African companies pick only India and China to be amongst their four most important Emerging Markets to 2017.

•  Instead, Nigeria and South Africa are part of the top four Emerging Markets for South African companies.

•  According to the IMF, average growth rates for 2012-2017* are 7.4% for India, 6.6% for Nigeria, 8.5% for China and 3.3% for South Africa. South Africa seems to be finding favour for reasons other than its growth rates.
