Tax increases and ban on smoking in public places impact sales

Tax increases on tobacco products to increase revenues to the state budget and limit the number of smokers raised prices, resulting in volume decline in 2018. The January 2018 ban on smoking in public places was also introduced to reduce smoking prevalence in the country, although so far it has not been very effective.

Heated tobacco products launched while authorities intensify fight against smoking

In 2018, there was a substantial increase in excise taxes on tobacco products, resulting in price increases and volume decline. The government’s aim was to both increase revenues to the state budget and discourage tobacco consumption to positively affect the health of the nation and reduce the mounting costs to society from tobacco use.

International companies benefit from trusted brands, while domestic production surges

Multinational companies, including British American Tobacco Azerbaijan MMC, Imperial Tobacco MMC and JTI Caucasus LLC maintained their lead in 2018. Consumers continue to prefer well-known globally recognised brands, believing these to offer higher quality, while trust in the quality offered by domestic brands remains low.

Modern grocery retailers benefit from cash transaction restrictions

Modern grocery retailers, including supermarkets, hypermarkets and convenience stores, continued to grow and flourish in Azerbaijan in 2018. These outlets benefit from being viewed as a modern and convenient shopping destination, with cigarettes often purchased alongside regular grocery shops.

Further tax increases likely over forecast period while niche products set to attract attention

Further volume decline is expected in cigarettes over the forecast period due to anticipated tax and price rises. These will aim to increase revenues to the state budget and to reduce tobacco consumption, in order to benefit the health of the nation.
