Executive summary
Sensitivity to Prices and Inflation
Belarusians are very price-sensitive. In 2006, annual inflation reached 8% (the forecast for 2007 is 9%), which impacts on the price of goods. The government regulates prices for certain goods, for example tobacco products. In addition, the government owns the biggest manufacturer of cigarettes and papirossy – Neman Tobacco Factory Grodno, which leads the manufacture of economy priced cigarettes.
Growing Disposable Income Spurs Growth in Cigars and Cigarillos
Annual average disposable incomes in Belarus in the review period (2001-2006) grew by 156%. This had a positive influence on the growth of cigars and cigarillos, which are luxury products. In the forecast period, if the growth in disposable incomes continues, the consumption of cigars and cigarillos, as well as smoking tobacco, which are currently not particularly popular, is expected to increase.
Government Operates Import Quotas
The Belarusian government sets quotas for the production and import of cigarettes in Belarus. It plans to lower import quotas to a minimal level by the end of 2011, at the same time stimulating the launch of the manufacture of international cigarette brands in local factories. However, this could have negative results, by encouraging higher illicit trade of deficit brands, and products from certain price segments.
Plans for Bans
Belarus has signed and ratified the WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (FCTC). According to the FCTC, countries have to establish a number of restrictions and bans on tobacco consumption, sales and advertising. A total ban on smoking in public places, and also a total ban on tobacco advertising is a part of the debate amongst Belarusian officials.
Changing Consumption Structure
During the review period certain changes and trends were noticed, with people choosing better quality and more expensive cigarettes from mid and premium price segments, as well as cigarettes with a lower tar level. The number of women and young smokers grew slightly, and people discovered cigars, cigarillos and smoking tobacco. According to Euromonitor International research, trends related to the changing structure of consumption are expected to remain and strengthen during the forecast period.
