BMI View:
The past decade of minimal growth in South Africa's mining sector is set to continue as the country's gold and platinum sectors face diminishing margins and industrial strife. Potential for growth in the iron ore and coal sectors constitute bright spots for the mining industry in the long term. We expect South Africa's mining industry value to grow by an annual average rate of 0.8% between 2014 and 2018, from USD32.4bn in 2013 to USD33.5bn in 2018.

South Africa's share of global mined output is set to decline as other mining jurisdictions experience faster rates of growth. We expect investment, particularly in gold mining, to be more attracted to low-cost, high resource opportunities in the rest of the continent such as the Democratic Republic of Congo. South Africa's mining sector is amenable to investment, with few obstacles confronting foreign companies wishing to enter. The government is generally stable and South Africa's business environment is one of the
best on the continent.
