Sales under pressure. Profits squeezed. What does this mean for South African manufacturing?

The Centre for African Industrialisation has launched its inaugural Quarterly South African Manufacturing Report, offering independent insights into industry conditions to inform policy decisions.

Drawing on responses from senior executives across 48 manufacturing enterprises, the Q2 2026 findings highlight pressure on sales, profitability and employment:

📉 Over 25% of respondents reported contractions of 5.1% or more in total sales, domestic sales and operating profits.
👥 One-third reported declining employment.
🏭 Performance varied, but negative growth trends outweighed positive trajectories across the sample.

These findings echo the pressures reflected in Statistics South Africa’s reported 1.8% quarter-on-quarter contraction in manufacturing output.

At TWIMS, we recognise the value of independent research in informing the decisions that shape manufacturing’s future.

The next report will be released in January 2027.

Highlights from the inaugural Centre for African Industrialisation (CAI) at TWIMS academic breakfast seminar, featuring Dr Megan Harrington’s lecture, "Making Sugar, Making Development.”

Africa holds enormous growth potential but entering new markets without the right intelligence can be costly.

The expansion of intra-African trade and the implementation of the AfCFTA are creating new possibilities for manufacturers. However, taking advantage of these opportunities requires a clear understanding of regional markets, trade policies, barriers and export strategy.

The Made in Africa: Mastering African Markets Masterclass will equip executives with the practical insights needed to evaluate opportunities and make informed decisions about operating across the continent.

The programme will examine:

✅ African economic and trade trends

✅ The practical implications of the AfCFTA

✅ Trade agreements and market-access barriers

✅ Import and export market analysis

✅ Regional manufacturing ecosystems

✅ The development of competitive export strategies

Facilitator: Mbongeni Michael Ndlovu, Illovo Head of African Trade and Industrialisation at TWIMS

HERITAGE IN EVERY HAND. INNOVATION IN EVERY INDUSTRY

This Heritage Day, TWIMS celebrates the diverse knowledge, skills and lived experiences that shape South Africa’s manufacturing sector.

Our industrial heritage is more than a record of what we have produced it is the foundation from which we must reimagine what Africa can design, manufacture and contribute to the world.

By combining academic excellence, indigenous knowledge and technological innovation, we can build manufacturing systems that are globally competitive, socially inclusive and distinctly African.

May our heritage continue to inspire the ideas, leadership and industrial capability required to manufacture Africa’s future.

Happy Heritage Day from TWIMS.
