    How the numbers are defined

    How the shares are defined

    Selling into South Africa

    Plan wider territories

    Outlets are spread thinner per resident in South Africa than in most markets; size territories by drive time, not by city.

    Pair visits with group deals

    Chains and groups run more of the market in South Africa than in most countries (90% independent, median 96%), so a few head-office agreements can open many doors at once.

    Qualify in person

    Only 30% of outlets in South Africa list a website, so expect to find and qualify venues on the street rather than online.
