Macro environment
Slower growth:
European economic woes continue
China and India showing signs of slower growth
USA – slow growth at best
In South Africa:
Increasingly exposed to a more uncertain China
Internal growth dynamic is fragile
Downgraded by credit agencies
Government’s focus on infrastructure backlog will act as economic
stimulus when implemented
Excellent opportunities continue to present themselves
20
Trends in Afrimat’s markets
Difficult time for aggregates business
Western Cape slow and under pressure
Diversification strategy has assisted Afrimat performance
Strong increase in tender activity in most market segments
Industrial markets stable, not as competitive as construction
Action against incompetent government departments (e.g. Provincial
roads to SANRAL)
Strong pipeline, specifically government infrastructure (small to medium
sized projects)
Exciting opportunities
