Ongoing volume decline in cigarettes due primarily to rising prices

The national economy continued to perform strongly in 2018, with one of the highest real GDP growth rates in the region and inflation well below the Central Bank’s annual target range. These conditions favour discretionary spending on products like tobacco.

New legislation negatively impacts consumption of hookah

President Medina’s promulgation of Law 16-19 at the beginning of 2019 effectively prohibits the use of hookah or water pipe tobacco in enclosed private and public establishments, including public and private transportation. This is expected to have a strong impact on clubs, discotheques and nightclubs, as well as colmadónes, bars, recreational parks and other spaces that have become popular for hookah consumption among younger adults.

Philip Morris International launches new heated tobacco category

In 2018, Philip Morris International chose the Dominican Republic as one of the first markets in the region for its launch of the IQOS/Iqos system, along with Colombia, Guatemala, Canada and Curaçao. In this way, it has created a new category in the market, heated tobacco products.

Cigarettes still mainly bought in traditional retail outlets, whilst distribution of cigars and cigarillos is more widespread

Independent small grocers (known as colmados in the Dominican Republic) continued to dominate the distribution of cigarettes in 2018. These neighbourhood stores have long opening hours and some offer credit to consumers.

Cigarette volumes to be hit by consumers turning to alternatives or quitting completely, whereas new products will boost interest in cigars and cigarillos

Retail current value sales are expected to rise across the industry over the forecast period. In the case of cigarettes, this is due to rising taxation and prices.
