Stronger growth for tobacco in 2018 due to modern tobacco options

Tobacco recorded stronger retail value growth in 2018 than in the previous year, supported by volume growth in cigarettes after the declines in 2017 as the warm summer encouraged consumers to smoke more outdoors, as well as moderate price increases. However, stricter regulations will come into force regarding smoke free locations in 2019, which will likely have a negative impact on sales of cigarettes going forward.

JTI Sweden reintroduces capsule cigarettes, judging this to be legal under EU law

Capsule cigarettes were banned in Sweden on 20 May 2017 by Folkhälsomyndigheten (Public Health Agency of Sweden). In response, JTI Sweden launched Camel Active Purple cigarillos in 2017 with a capsule as the legislation did not cover cigarillos.

Competitive environment differs greatly by category

Cigarettes remained the largest category in tobacco in 2018, followed by Swedish-style snus. Cigarette sales continued to be dominated by the subsidiaries of global manufacturers, namely JTI Sweden, Philip Morris and British American Tobacco Sweden.

Online retailing gaining ground on traditional distribution channels

In 2018, distribution also varied greatly by category although remaining relatively stable, with the exception of internet retailing, which is rapidly gaining ground in all tobacco categories. Swedes are keen on purchasing online as it is easy to compare products and prices, while the channel also offers access to a wider range of goods for those in sparsely populated rural areas.

Tobacco set to record further positive retail value growth over the forecast period

Retail value sales of tobacco products are expected to grow over the forecast period, driven by anticipated tax hikes, new fees and a general premiumisation trend, with consumers increasingly valuing quality over quantity. Sales will also be fuelled by population growth, given the relatively high birth rate by European standards and the arrival of more immigrants from the Middle East.
