Summary
"Cigarettes in Uruguay, 2018", is an analytical report by GlobalData that provides extensive and highly detailed current and future market trends in the Uruguayan market. The report offers Market size and structure of the overall and per capita consumption based upon a unique combination of industry research, fieldwork, market sizing analysis, and our in-house expertise.
Uruguay has a population of just fewer than 3.4 million and is one of South America's smaller cigarette markets. Duty paid sales in 2016 stood at 2,300 million pieces, which is 23.3% down on 1990. Duty paid sales in 2017 stood at 2,150 million pieces, which is 28.3% down on 1990. Despite this, annual per capita consumption levels are relatively high in regional terms, averaging 689 pieces in 2016 and 644 in 2017. The effects of the recent economic difficulties, annual rises in tax, high non-duty paid sales, competition from RYO cigarettes, and a tightening of restrictions on tobacco consumption have depressed demand for manufactured cigarettes. Per capita consumption reached a peak of 1,174 pieces / year in 1998, declining in most years since.
Scope
- Uruguay has a major problem with contraband with the recent policy of hiking taxes only exacerbating this issue. Data released for 2016 placed smuggled volumes at 2.5 billion pieces a year, which is larger than the duty paid market at that time.
- The impact of the increasingly tough stance on smoking along with the impact from a sizeable non-duty paid sector is set to depress sales over the coming decade. GlobalData forecasts that volumes will decline to 1,640 million pieces in 2027, which is 23.7% below 2017. Per capita consumption rates are forecast to decline to 475 pieces / year by 2027, a drop of 25.7%.
