Painting and decorating is a R4.7 billion trade
Stats SA found that formal painting and decorating businesses in South Africa earned R4.7 billion in 2020, up from R2.5 billion in 2011, and employed 9,494 people at the end of June 2020. Painting and decorating had the highest share of men employed in construction (88.9%). The survey covers VAT-registered businesses only, so the many informal painters are not counted.
