Guidance for market entry in the assistive technology sector: focus on South Africa

South Africa has a well-established market entry process, with information generally accessible and broadly agreed upon online. However, there are occasional instances of limited clarity, particularly in the public procurement process. 

The regulatory environment has been in place for several years, is regularly updated and is often cited as a model by other low- and middle-income countries. It is also important to note that locally manufactured goods are typically favoured in public procurement.
