Many of the smuggling operations were recorded in 2014 and despite the efforts of security agents, either at the border or inside the country, the proportion of contraband tobacco continued to rise. Illicit trade accounted for 32% of cigarettes sales in 2014, with the state estimated to have lost TND300 million in revenue. The strong performance of illicit trade cigarettes has directly and negatively impacted duty-paid cigarettes, with a significant decrease in volume terms over the review period. Many Tunisian consumers have been complaining about the high price of cigarettes and have begun buying smuggled products as a cheaper alternative.

Competitive Landscape

In Tunisia, cigarettes continued to be dominated by the two state-owned companies, Régie Nationale des Tabacs et des Allumettes (RNTA) and Manufacture des Tabacs de Kairouan (MTK), which held a combined retail volume share of 74% in 2014.

Industry Prospects

Demand for duty-paid cigarettes is expected to continue to decline over the forecast period, as a result of further illicit trade volume growth. Another important factor that could affect demand for cigarettes over the forecast period could be any further increase in prices, with the Government considering increasing prices in order to cover the losses caused by smuggled products.
