About South Africa
South Africa is located at the southern tip of the African continent and it has a little, sub-Atlantic archipelago of the Prince Edwards Islands. The country has a mixed economy which means that there is private freedom, centralized economic planning, and government regulation. In addition, South Africa is known for its varied topography, breathtaking natural beauty, and cultural diversity which makes it an ideal destination for travelers. The country’s population has increased in 2022 to become approximately 60.6 million inhabitants.
Furthermore, the population is heterogeneous since they consist of black and white Africans and as a result, the citizens speak several languages that are based on their region and descendants. Those languages are Afrikaans, English, Pedi, Ndebele, Sotho, Swati, Tsonga, Venda, Xhosa, Tswana, and Zulu. The population’s access to the internet via mobile phones has increased since 2021 to reach 78.6 percent in 2022.
Why conduct market research in South Africa
South Africa has a strong position in Africa as it’s a member of G20 that offers chances for business development and is advantaged to have an impact on trade beyond its borders. However, South Africa is still facing some challenges which are that inflation is growing to a 13-year high which consequently increased poverty to levels the country has never experienced before.
