Tobacco forecasts

Article Abstract:

International branded tobacco producers will benefit from European tobacco market conditions while developments appear dim for local and monopoly manufacturers. Before consumption is substantially slowed down by higher price levels, tax revenues from tobacco will first have to significantly increase at a steady rate. In addition, even if tax-induced price levels are established, increasing incomes will offset the effect. The main mitigating factor for the generally bright outlook, however, is the substantial decrease in the number of primary smoking age group consumers across Europe.

The Italian market for tobacco

Article Abstract:

An analysis of the tobacco market in Italy reveals that the industry reached 90,758 tons in volume sales in 1997, a 0.6% increase from 1993 figures. Value sales of cigarettes jumped by 29.2% as a result of steadily higher prices and the growing popularity of expensive imported brands. Cigarettes dominated the tobacco market, which comprised 98.9% of volume sales in 1997. Volume sales for cigars fell by 42.3% because these products were becoming less trendy among smokers. Government health campaigns are finally taking effect. Other information about the industry is presented.
