Executive summary
Tobacco Sales Are Declining in Both Volume and Value Terms
The tobacco market as a whole saw declines in both volume and constant value sales in 2008. Volume sales declined throughout the review period, and in particular in 2008 due to more anti-smoking activities and legislation. This trend of decline is expected to continue into the forecast period.
Prohibition of Smoking in Public Places Has Negative Impact on the Market
During 2008 the effects of recent legislation became much more apparent. The November 2007 law prohibiting smoking in public places had a significant negative impact on sales. A survey held in May 2008 reveals that almost 13% of the smoking population have stated that they have changed their smoking habits following this law, and 40-50% of smokers support further anti-smoking legislation and restrictions.
Local Production Loses Share to Imported Brands
The tobacco market in Israel is shifting in the favour of imported brands, with tobacco importers and distributors such as Philip Morris Ltd holding strong positions. Other tobacco importers and distributors, such as Devidas Group Ltd and Globrands Ltd are winning greater volume share at the expense of Israel’s only tobacco manufacturer, Dubek Ltd, which continues to lose share annually.
Kiosks Are the Most Important Distribution Channel for Cigarettes
Newsagent-tobacconists/kiosks are the most commonly used distribution outlets for cigarettes in Israel, with approximately 47% of sales. Approximately 50% of their sales are tobacco products. Other growing distribution channels are forecourt retailers and convenience stores, which account for just over and just under 5% of sales respectively.
The Tobacco Market Is Expected to See Continued Decline
Due to expected further legislation, the increasing health trend, growing interest in organic products, public awareness campaigns and increased taxation on tobacco products, the tobacco market in Israel is expected to continue the trend of moderate decreases in volume sales during the forecast period.
Despite increases in unit price and a shift towards expensive imported tobacco brands, it is estimated that the decrease in volume sales will be much more significant and overall lead to a reduction in value sales during the forecast period.
