The growth of the healthcare industry in South Africa is keeping pace with the government’’s efforts to strengthen the healthcare system and make healthcare services more accessible to the citizens. Apart from the public spending on health, the sector has been considerably benefited from the inflow of foreign aid to control the pandemic diseases. Further, the public sector is concentrating on improving primary care in the country and developing the infrastructure of healthcare institutions, to provide healthcare services in remote areas.

The need to improve the efficiency of services and quality of care and also to reduce healthcare costs are pushing healthcare facilities to implement IT applications. The basic IT applications include; electronic medical records, hospital information systems, networking applications, health decision-support systems, and Telemedicine solutions, used for providing remote diagnostics. In addition, since the current healthcare system has not attained sustainability, implementation of IT would support the expansion of its reach to remote areas, along with a move to a digital health platform.

The development of wireless networks, to reduce the digital divide between the rural and urban areas, has enhanced the delivery of healthcare services. Several healthcare programs such as Project Masiluleke, introduced by the government and NGOs are increasingly using wireless services to provide services in remote areas. Moreover, improved broadband access and availability of cost-effective software solutions is boosting the uptake of information and communication technologies in the healthcare sector.

The report forecasts the IT spending of the Healthcare Industry in South Africa for the period 2008-2012. It discusses the market segmentation of this industry based on the IT spending, and also highlights the IT sales opportunity in the Healthcare Industry in South Africa. Further, the report discusses the market trends that characterize this industry.

South African Banking Sector Analysis  

Our findings show that the South African banks have largely been protected from the direct effects of the global financial crisis. Domestic banks did not invest heavily in high-risk securities or complex instruments, and have maintained a traditional and relatively conservative banking model. They have maintained high lending standards and enjoyed high profitability for a number of years. With low levels of foreign funding, the banks have limited activity outside the African continent.

We have also found that future of the banking sector lies mainly in personal banking (especially the lower end of the market) and the small and medium-sized business sector. The banks need to focus more on expansion in the domestic economy in the coming years. Given the recent boom in mobile phones and internet accessibility, another key area for growth will be the telephone and internet banking.

Executive Summary

The combined effects of the global economic crisis, plummeting commodity prices and an earlier power crisis continue to impact the South African mining sector. The downturn has prompted many mining companies to scale back operations, cut proposed exploration and development projects, and lay off workers. The Financial Times reported in January 2009 that up to 14,000 workers in the industry are facing redundancy. However, some firms are weathering the slowdown better than others, with iron ore producers in particular benefiting from a strong market driven by China’s high demand.

Accounting for nearly one-third of South Africa’s total exports, mining remains a vital industry for the country’s economy. South Africa hosts the world’s largest deposits of gold and about 80% of global platinum reserves. It is also a significant producer of diamonds. The country’s mining industry has matured and the pace of mineral exploration has fallen over the years – even more so in recent months as firms reduce capital expenditure (capex) and scale back projects.

Major closures have taken place in the chromium and manganese sectors – with multiple furnaces shut down as demand slumped – as well as in the uranium sector. South African gold production continued to decline in 2008, with a massive 14% drop in output reported to be largely due to ongoing power rationing and labour unrest. Diamond production also fell, but De Beers successfully opened its Voorspoed mine. A crash in platinum prices in late 2008 impacted producers heavily, and two major takeover bids by South African Impala Platinum and Swiss Xstrata were abandoned. Coal exports fell in 2008 and some firms announced cuts of capital expenditure, but growth drivers for 2009 could include increased demand from state-owned power company Eskom, and the modernisation of transportation links. Iron ore production was largely sustained by high demand from China, and some iron ore producers pressed ahead with development projects.

Significant job cuts have been announced by firms including Lonmin, DRDGOLD and Uranium One, and are being mooted by companies such as Anglo Platinum, Gold Fields, Simmer and Jack Mines, Petra Diamonds, Rockwell Diamonds and De Beers.

As previously reported, the South African government has revived a dormant state company to start buying up assets within the mining sector. The African Exploration, Finance and Mining Corporation will reportedly receive funding of ZAR180mn for three years of exploration. The CEO Sizwe Madondo told Mining Weekly Online that the Corporation was pursuing coal and uranium opportunities. However, the government faced criticism in October 2008 over proposed exemptions for the company from requirements imposed on private firms, including applying for mining rights. Reuters reported that the Chamber of Mines, representing mining firms in South Africa, had expressed concern over the exemptions. The Department of Minerals and Energy (DME) tried to downplay the concerns, with spokesman Bheki Khumalo saying that the company would only be ‘required to inform… the DME of its mining interest rather than formally apply’.

Global overview

On page 8 of this report, BMI examines the phenomenon of increased Chinese activity in the global mining sector and what this means for the industry moving forward.

Industry Forecast

BMI forecasts that South Africa’s mining sector will reach a value of US$20.16bn in 2013. However, how long the country can continue its relatively strong performance is yet to be seen. In the short term we expect growth to slow due to the impact of the financial crisis on global commodity prices, which is forcing producers to scale back production. Meanwhile, reserves are depleting, which is slowing the rate of expansion, while power shortages and labour unrest are also disrupting the sector, Still, the sheer size of the mining industry, representing 5.2% of South Africa’s GDP in 2008, should ensure that the industry remains resilient. The country is also likely to be among the first to benefit when the global economy returns to strength.

South African banking sector is well-developed and highly liberalized. It is one of the largest and most deregulated sectors within the emerging markets. The sector is experiencing significant growth, defying the global economic slowdown. The banking assets grew at a CAGR of around 19% between 2002 and 2008, far higher than witnessed by the global banking industry, says “South African Banking Sector Analysis”, a recent report by RNCOS.
 
Our findings show that the South African banks have largely been protected from the direct effects of the global financial crisis. Domestic banks did not invest heavily in high-risk securities or complex instruments, and have maintained a traditional and relatively conservative banking model. They have maintained high lending standards and enjoyed high profitability for a number of years. With low levels of foreign funding, the banks have limited activity outside the African continent.
 
We have also found that future of the banking sector lies mainly in personal banking (especially the lower end of the market) and the small and medium-sized business sector. The banks need to focus more on expansion in the domestic economy in the coming years. Given the recent boom in mobile phones and internet accessibility, another key area for growth will be the telephone and internet banking.
 
Our report “South African Banking Sector Analysis” provides detailed analysis of the banking sector in South Africa. It gives deep insight into each of the banking parameters like assets, loans, deposits and payment instruments. Most importantly, the report gives future outlook for each of the important industry aspects (assets, loans, deposits etc) considering the effects of the global economic crisis on base drivers, opportunities and challenges faced by the banking sector.
 
Additionally, the report contains detailed information of key industry players (both domestic and foreign), their business strategies and their market share. The key players discussed are ABSA Group Limited, FirstRand Limited, Nedbank Group Limited, Investec Limited, Citibank N.A., JPMorgan Chase & Co., Deutsche Bank and ABN AMRO Holding N.V.
