Key Findings

There has been a substantial contraction in the French cigarette market, mainly following the two huge tax hikes in 2003.  Today volumes are only around half their level in 1990 at a forecast 47.7 billion pieces in 2013 (based on 11 months data).  Counterfeit and contraband sales are now in excess of 10 billion pieces. 

PMI's Marlboro is easily the most popular brand with around a quarter of sales although its share is in gradual decline as the premium sector comes under increasing pressure.  The company's Philip Morris brand ranks second followed by JTI's Winston and Camel brands.
