Executive summary
Rising Disposable Incomes Fuel a Trend Towards Premium Cigarettes Brands
While cigarettes showed a decline in volume terms in 2006, the sector showed healthy growth in current value terms. This was largely due to rising disposable incomes, which supported a trend towards more expensive brands. The main reason for the decline in volume sales was rising health awareness. Cigars and smoking tobacco meanwhile both showed robust growth in volume and current value terms, as both were still emerging from a low base in comparison to cigarettes.
Strict Tobacco Control Laws Are Still Poorly Enforced
Stricter laws on tobacco products were introduced in Bosnia-Herzegovina in 2004. In 2006, however, the enforcement of these laws remained very weak. Cigarettes and other tobacco products were still commonly sold to underage consumers (those under 18 years old), despite the fact that this practice is illegal and offenders should in theory face tough penalties. Moreover, despite the banning of smoking in several public places, smokers continued to indulge their habit in many locations where smoking was officially prohibited, particularly workplaces.
Thanks to political instability and high levels of corruption, tobacco manufacturers were able to circumvent the law and advertise their products indirectly without any consequence, allowing them to attract new consumers, strengthen brand loyalty and improve their market positions. That said, it should be noted that the political situation in Bosnia-Herzegovina is improving, and stricter enforcement of tobacco control laws is expected over the forecast period. The emergence of anti-smoking lobby groups or NGOs could play an important role to play in this regard; social acceptance of smoking in the country is still quite high, and the formation of such groups could help to highlight the health risks of smoking (including passive smoking), pressurising the government to enforce existing legislation and the public at large to obey the laws.
Demand for Cigars and Smoking Tobacco Increases but Remains Low in 2006
Cigarettes continued to dominate the tobacco market in volume and current value sales terms in 2006. Cigars and cigarillos are seen as luxury items by many consumers, and generally only purchased for special occasions or as gifts. Smoking tobacco products meanwhile are seen as inconvenient, particularly given the comparatively low cost of cigarettes. As a result, there is no deeply-rooted tradition of consuming either cigars or smoking tobacco products in the country. Nonetheless, cigars and smoking tobacco both showed strong growth in volume and current value terms throughout the review period as consumer preferences began to change in line with rising disposable incomes.
Newsagent-Tobacconists/Kiosks Is the Leading Distribution Channel
Newsagent-tobacconists/kiosks was the leading distribution channel for cigarettes in volume sales terms in 2006, with independent food stores following close behind. During the review period, the volume share of independent food stores declined slightly while that of newsagent-tobacconists/kiosks showed a significant increase. Volume share gains for the latter came mainly at the expense of street vendors. Supermarkets/hypermarkets, tobacconists/specialists, bar-tobacconists, petrol/gas/service stations and vending also made small volume share gains, though they remained minor channels in 2006.
