Executive summary
Cigars posts the most dynamic volume growth
In 2008, cigars posted the most dynamic volume growth in the Ukrainian tobacco market. Affluent consumers started to pay more attention to their image, and switched to smoking cigars rather than cigarettes.
Slims convey a modern image
The main trend within Ukrainian cigarettes, particularly among female smokers, is image. In 2008, there was a growing switch towards slim cigarettes, which are perceived to convey a stylish and elegant image. Leading manufacturer Philip Morris Ukraine AO introduced its new Marlboro Gold Edge slim cigarettes in attractive package.
Philip Morris Ukraine AO maintains its leading position
Philip Morris Ukraine AO is the leading cigarette player in Ukraine, thanks to its long-standing presence, and well-known and popular brands, Chesterfield and Marlboro. The company constantly endeavours to increase its volume share by introducing attractive new products.
Newsagent-tobacconists/kiosks remains the leading distribution channel
Cigarettes in Ukraine are mainly distributed through newsagent-tobacconists/kiosks, which benefit from their location in crowded places such as transport stations. The outlets also offer low unit prices and a wide product assortment. The next most popular distribution channels are supermarkets/hypermarkets and independent small grocers, which allow people the convenience of buying cigarettes while doing their food shopping.
New excise duty will make tobacco products expensive
In 2009, the Ukrainian Government is to introduce a new excise tax for cigarettes and other tobacco products. As a result cigarettes will increase in price by four times, while prices of cigars, cigarillos and smoking tobacco will double. This will force smokers to purchase cheaper brands, or even to stop smoking altogether. The aim of the government is to reduce the number of young smokers, who are the most price sensitive.
