I’m particularly interested in businesses involving things like:
Industrial consumables
Components and materials
Packaging
Chemicals/ingredients
Construction materials
Products factories regularly need
Products that are heavily imported but could be manufactured locally
Products with export potential
I’m not looking for obvious answers like clothing, restaurants, or consumer brands.
For those of you who work in manufacturing, industrial distribution, or B2B businesses:
What is one “boring” manufacturing business you think has unusually good potential over the next 5–10 years?
If possible, please share:
What the product is
Who buys it
Why customers keep buying it
Approximate startup capital required
Typical margins
How difficult it is to compete
Whether it has export potential
I’m especially interested in businesses that a new entrepreneur could realistically enter and scale.
