South Africa Cigarettes, 2019

Summary

Cigarettes in South Africa, 2019 is an analytical report by GlobalData that provides extensive and highly detailed current and future market trends in the South African cigarette market. It covers market size and structure along with per capita and overall consumption. Additionally, it focuses on brand data, retail pricing, prospects, and forecasts for sales and consumption until 2028.

With a rising population, South Africa is an increasingly impotant market within the continent for the tobacco industry. Nevertheless, the introduction of tax-induced price rises as well as the ever-expanding non-duty paid market and the increasing health consciousness amongst consumers has badly affected the market and has lead to a decline in the market.

Scope

- The non-duty paid market has seen strong growth over recent years, with the contraband market account for over a third of the overall market in 2018 at 9.4 billion pieces.
- Per capita consumption have seen a large drop over the past 30 years, accounting for only 34.2% of 1990 levels.
- BATSA is the largest company in the market, with a 74% share in 2019. This is followed by JTI (9.5%) and PMI (6.5%).
