Downward trajectory in volume sales

Despite the strong performance of the national economy over the review period, with real GDP growth in 2017 and inflation well below the Central Bank’s annual target range, overall cigarette retail volume sales continued to decline. Meanwhile, retail current value sales increased slightly in 2017, largely as a result of unit price movements.

Tax burden remains high on cigarettes

Since the changes incorporated in the latest fiscal reform (No 253-12) were implemented in 2013, the tax burden on cigarettes has remained high. While the ad valorem tax and VAT (value-added tax) were unchanged, higher excise tax was applied to cigarettes, on a per pack basis.

New releases intensify the offer and competition in cigarettes

While Philip Morris Dominicana remained the clear leader in cigarettes in 2017, led by its flagship Marlboro and Nacional brands, the company is beginning to experience stronger competition from other players in the market. A number of companies are looking to broaden their offer and appeal to general local preferences, such as the enjoyment of sweet flavours.

No major change in distribution

Independent small grocers (known as colmados in the Dominican Republic) continued to dominate retail volume sales of cigarettes in 2017. Cigarette smokers can normally rely on colmados, which operate long opening hours, while they may be able to access credit when purchasing goods from these neighbourhood stores.

Cigarettes struggles for volume lift while cigars taps more upmarket demand

Over the forecast period, retail volume sales of cigarettes are projected to decrease, while retail value sales are expected to see modest gains in constant 2017 terms. The growing tax burden on cigarettes has fuelled an increase in illicit trade.
