Executive summary
Tobacco sales decline
Despite new, stricter, anti-smoking legislation, which was expected to lower tobacco sales in 2008, the total tobacco value sales increased by 2%. One exception to the downwards trend was cigars, which recorded value growth of 7% due to rising unit prices.
Declining number of smokers
According to Slovenia’s Ministry of Health, new anti-smoking legislation has resulted in a decline in the number of smokers in the country. Ministry of Health research indicated that the number of smokers declined from 22% of the adult population in 2006 to 17% in 2008. In addition to this decline, the lack of new product development within all tobacco categories, with the exception of cigarettes where a limited number of new launches took place, has also put downwards pressure on sales.
Tobacna Ljubljana continues to loose volume share within cigarettes
Although remaining the sales leader, Tobacna Ljubljana continued to record a significant decline in volume sales during 2008. If the company continues to lose sales at the same rate over the forecast period, it is likely that it will soon be overtaken by its closest rival Philip Morris. The extent in the decline in Tobacna Ljubljana’s fortunes is highlighted by the fact that its 71% 2003 cigarette volume share had declined to 55% by 2008. In response to this decline, the company launched its new Style brand which is targeted towards female smokers.
Increasing popularity of tobacco specialist/cigar shops
Two new cigar shops were opened in Ljubljana and Maribor in 2008. These stores promote the cigar smoking culture and often associate cigar brands with the drinking of high quality alcoholic drinks. The stores have proven popular with cigar smokers as they offer competitive pricing and quality foreign brands.
Rising unit prices
In response to a budget deficit in 2008, the government decided to increase excise taxes for all tobacco products and alcoholic drinks. These tax increases will result in higher unit prices throughout the segment which are expected to compensate somewhat for declining volume sales. The strongest decline in volume sales is expected to occur within cigarettes, where demand is projected to fall by 17% between 2008 and 2013.
