Value sales of tobacco again decline in 2018 after a brief, and small, respite in 2017

Retail value sales of tobacco again declined in 2018 after a brief respite with marginal growth in 2017. The poor performance was driven by a steep decline in sales of cigarettes, the largest category in tobacco.

Fine cut tobacco increasingly popular, whilst heated tobacco remains the star performer

Fine cut tobacco recorded good retail value growth throughout the review period and into 2018 as many consumers continued to shift from cigarettes to fine cut tobacco, which is especially appealing to price-conscious smokers. A 30g pack of fine cut tobacco is enough to roll 60-70 cigarettes at a price only slightly higher than a pack of cigarettes.

Concentration in traditional tobacco products and heated tobacco, fragmentation in e-vapour products

The cigarettes, cigars, cigarillos and smoking tobacco categories remained highly concentrated in 2018, with sales dominated by a handful of players, all of which retained their strong shares. Smokeless tobacco and e-vapour products, on the other hand, remained fragmented, being still open to newcomers.

Traditional distribution channels remain popular

Swiss consumers continued to largely buy tobacco products from traditional distribution channels such as discounters, supermarkets and newsagent-tobacconists/kiosks in 2018. Convenience is the main factor influencing consumer purchasing behaviour, with these outlets offering a wide range of products, low prices and a ubiquitous presence thanks to an extensive network of outlets.

Retail value sales of tobacco set to improve over the forecast period

Tobacco is set to be more resilient over the forecast period than over the review period. A modest decline in cigarette volume sales is expected as smoking prevalence continues to fall only slowly.
