Executive summary
Increasing smoking prevalence
Smoking prevalence in Argentina is on the rise. Although the adult smoking prevalence remained unchanged in 2008, the growth trend is being driven by the increasing smoking prevalence among teenagers and young adults. According to industry experts, this situation is due to the lack of integrated policies related to tobacco restrictions, as well as the absence of a national law to restrict tobacco consumption. Volume sales of cigarettes, cigars and cigarillos, and smoking tobacco all increased in 2008.
Price increases
Price increases in the Argentinian tobacco market are based on annual agreements between the federal government and tobacco companies, and are tied to tax revenue goals. Every year, the tax revenue goal is increased, resulting in higher tobacco prices for consumers. Prices are expected to continue increasing during 2009 and 2010, despite the global economic crisis.
Delay in the national anti-tobacco legislation
A nationwide anti-tobacco law has been with Congress since 2005. Local legislation has established smoke-free public places in different provinces, raised the minimum legal smoking age in several districts, and restricted tobacco advertising and sponsorship. However, all these actions take place in isolated districts and do not constitute an integrated, national anti-tobacco strategy.
Manufacturers control cigarettes distribution
Cigarettes distribution in Argentina is handled directly by manufacturers. Cigarettes are distributed via the manufacturers’ own distribution forces to outlets in the main cities (mainly newsagent-tobacconists/kiosks), and through exclusive distribution agreements with cigarettes distributors in the rest of the country. Distribution through vending machines is uncommon and, if the proposed national anti-tobacco legislation is approved, will be forbidden.
Economic crisis expected to have a major impact on premium and mid-priced cigarettes
Given that Argentina is heavily dependent on commodities exports, the global economic crisis is expected to have a negative impact on tobacco consumption. Volume sales are expected to fall during 2009 and 2010, with recovery anticipated in 2011. Premium and mid-priced cigarettes will be most affected, due to changes in purchasing decisions among the middle classes.
