Small Businesses in Gqeberha

Gqeberha — formerly Port Elizabeth, renamed in 2021 — is the heart of South Africa’s automotive industry. Isuzu builds trucks and bakkies at its Struandale plant, Volkswagen’s plant in nearby Kariega (formerly Uitenhage) is one of the largest in Africa, and a deep bench of component manufacturers, tooling shops and logistics firms serves both. The Coega Special Economic Zone and the deepwater Port of Ngqura east of the city have drawn new investment in energy and agri-processing, including wind turbine component manufacturing for the renewable energy build-out along the Eastern Cape coast. Tourism along Algoa Bay’s beaches and the nearby Addo Elephant National Park rounds out the economy.
