PROSPECTS

Excise tax of 100% implemented

The GCC member states ratified the excise taxes to be implemented as part of their efforts to diversify revenue sources due to the sharp decline in oil prices and reliance on crude oil exports. In mid-2017, Saudi Arabia implemented 100% excise tax, followed by the United Arab Emirates in October 2017.

Sales of premium cigarettes hit by taxation

Premium cigarettes account for a high share of overall volume sales of cigarettes. The doubling of prices had an impact on consumer brand choice in 2017, with reports of trading down to mid-priced brands.

Changes in labelling laws

The Ministry of Health and Prevention has adopted various measures to try and curb smoking, for example running health awareness programmes. Regular smokers will continue to purchase their usual cigarettes due to brand loyalty; however, the growth potential of new introductions and less popular brands will be limited, as manufacturers have limited options to market their brands.

COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE

Philip Morris leads cigarettes despite the declining premium price segment

Philip Morris Management Services (Middle East) continued to lead cigarettes in volume terms in 2017. The company’s position can be attributed to its strong brand equity and the regular launch of new variants.

Manufacturers with balanced portfolios are gaining share

Imperial Tobacco International ranked second in cigarettes due to its product range across the price segments. Imperial Tobacco is focusing on growth markets in the Middle East.

The threat of illicit trade over the short term

The centres of illicit trade in the country are the numerous free zones, especially the Jebel Ali free zone in Dubai. Numerous companies operating in these zones produce counterfeit branded cigarettes, which are smuggled to countries worldwide.
