2018 could be the beginning of the end for traditional tobacco products

2018 could be the year of great change in tobacco. Until the end of 2017, cigarettes, cigars, cigarillos and smoking tobacco faced regular but rather slow decline in volume sales due to frequent, but limited, tax increases and the impact of smoking prevention and health consciousness through antismoking campaigns.

Most real innovations are in vapour products

Not only are vapour products much cheaper than cigarettes or fine cut tobacco, but also the bulk of key novelties (not simply new shapes or packaging but real innovation) are located in this relatively new category. Vapour products seems to be in perpetual motion due to the succession of technical innovations and sudden fads.

Multinationals secure the lion’s share

The competitive landscape was concentrated in 2017 and dominated by Philip Morris France SAS, Seita Groupe Imperial Tobacco SA, British American Tobacco France and JT International France SAS. Due to tighter regulations and ongoing tax hikes, marketing has become increasingly difficult.

Buralistes have to diversify

Largely affected by increasing taxes and the emergence of illicit trade over the review period, several buralistes (tobacconists that almost monopolise sales of traditional tobacco products in France) closed, especially those located close to the country’s borders. In response, the government provided subsidies to help buralistes diversify their activities over 2017/2018.

The transition towards e-smoking is just beginning

Sales of cigarettes, cigars, cigarillos and smoking tobacco over the forecast period will be adversely impacted by the stricter regulations introduced in 2017/2018, such as further anticipated tax increases, growing awareness of the dangers of smoking and, to a much lesser extent, plain packaging. Cigarette price rises are likely to erase the last narrow differences between economy, mid-priced and premium brands.
