Strong retail value growth for tobacco amid positive economic performance

Tobacco recorded the strongest retail value growth of the review period in 2018. The positive economic performance brought increasing consumer confidence as average consumer incomes soared and led to stronger purchasing power.

Hungary’s stricter regulations have had a limited effect

The Hungarian government and the authorities are dedicated to eliminating smoking to improve the general health of the population. However, the ever-stricter regulations and highly controlled distribution have so far only proven effective in reducing juvenile smoking, while smoking prevalence among the adult population changed little over the latter part of the review period.

Large international companies and a narrow range of brands dominate tobacco

Philip Morris Magyarország continued to lead cigarettes in 2017. The company owns the most popular brand in Hungary, Marlboro, which grew its volume share in 2018.

Tobacco retailing is restricted to the tobacco specialists channel, and this is extended to e-vapour products

The centralised distribution system for tobacco remained unchanged in 2018, while the same restrictions were also applied to e-vapour products. The only authorised tobacco distribution channel in Hungary is tobacco specialists, consisting of over 5,000 stores.

Accelerating decline in smoking prevalence expected with the likely introduction of heated tobacco

Despite the full introduction of the European directive targeted for 2020, including plain packaging and a flavour ban, retail value sales of tobacco will likely continue to grow over the forecast period. Thanks to the public smoking ban, controlled distribution and the campaigns to enlighten the population about the health effects, the previously slow decline in smoking prevalence is expected to accelerate over the forecast period, limiting growth generated by improving consumer spending power, although value sales will be supported by increasing preference for premium products.
