Positive value growth for tobacco as volume sales of cigarettes continue to slump

2017 saw Thailand’s tobacco industry register strong retail value growth as unit prices increased across the board. This was mainly due to changes in the taxation regime for all tobacco products, with cigarettes registering strong unit prices increases over the course of the year.

Changes to tax structure continue to influence cigarette sales

Major changes were made to the excise tax regime for tobacco during 2017 and nowhere have the effects of this been more apparent than in cigarettes. Previously, ad-valorem excise tax was calculated at 90% of the MSP; this tax is now calculated at either 40% or 20% on the RSP, depending on the pack price.

Thailand Tobacco Monopoly and Philip Morris dominate, leaving little room for rivals

Thailand Tobacco Monopoly remains the leading player in cigarettes, dominating sales as well as being responsible for much innovation in the category. The company offers a wide range of brands within its portfolio, focusing mainly on the economy and mid-priced segments and catering to consumers from various income segments.

Few changes seen in the retail distribution of tobacco products

Few changes were seen in the retail distribution of cigarettes and other tobacco categories in 2017. Independent small grocers remains the key distribution channel for cigarettes and smoking tobacco and this is mainly due to the ubiquity of such outlets in both urban and rural areas of Thailand.

Tobacco set to struggle during the forecast period

Recent changes to tobacco taxation will continue to influence sales trends in tobacco over the forecast period, with negative value growth expected at constant 2017 prices. In addition, retail volume sales of cigarettes are expected to decline at a stronger pace than over the review period.
