PROSPECTS AND OPPORTUNITIES
Growth will be further affected by regulatory changes and smoking prevalence
Volume sales of cigarettes are expected to fall during the forecast period overall. This decline is primarily driven by a sustained decrease in the smoking population, as regulatory and societal pressures increasingly discourage tobacco consumption.
Plans to limit sales channels will place further pressure on the sales of cigarettes
The Dutch government is adopting a phased approach to reducing tobacco retail points. This is part of the National Prevention Agreement, to limit the availability of tobacco in order to discourage its use.
Negative volume growth leaves little incentive and oppertunity for innovation
Innovation within the cigarette category is expected to be negligible over the forecast period. With declining sales, the prohibition of flavoured variants, and a significant reduction in authorised retail outlets, there is little commercial incentive for manufacturers to invest in product development within this segment.

RETAIL SALES OF DUTY PAID CIGARETTES The definition of cigarettes for the purposes of this study is duty-paid, machine manufactured white-stick products. This does not exclude brands of cigarettes that do not use white paper but it is designed to exclude the volume of non-machine manufactured products such as bidis/beedis (India) and papirosy (Russia), and other smoking products made with tobacco but that either do not resemble cigarettes as recognised in the US or Europe, or those that are not machine manufactured. The exclusion of these products is intended to give a more accurate picture of the "true" market for cigarettes and cigars which has been distorted in official statistics and published reports because of the inclusion of hybrid products. NB Please note that due to its central importance and integration into the industry mainstream, Indonesia’s market data does include hand-rolled kreteks DUTY-FREE sales are excluded from retail sales, as are herbal cigarettes. ILLICIT TRADE CIGARETTES Not included in retail sales, but split out separately in volume terms only. Defined as non-duty paid cigarettes (includes smuggled & counterfeit/fake products combined). Legitimate cross-border sales are considered duty-paid. Sales arising from a foreign national purchasing cheaper cigarettes in bulk in a neighbouring country for personal use and exported back are attributed to the country where the purchase is made (e.g. bulk cigarette sales by British nationals in France are attributed to France).
