The South African economy is dominated by the service sector, which contributed approximately 68.7% to the total GDP in 2016. Industrial sector contributes 27.5% of GDP, in which the manufacturing contributes 11.9% of GDP. South African government is looking towards promoting diversification in the tourism sector and expansion of small and medium scale enterprises in the textile and sugar industries. Strong total consumption caused by an increase in household consumption and government spending, is expected to be the main growth driver of the South African economy.
