analysis of Spain’s cigarette industry, demographics of cigarette market,
leading players in cigarette industry, excise tax on cigarettes,
advertisement policies, government measures to curb illegal sales, and

Demographics: Spain has made a huge progress on tobacco control in
the recent years but people continue to die and become sick. The
country does not make any effort to implement the tobacco control tools
for its citizens’ wellbeing. Consumption of tobacco is injuring consumers’
health, the treasury, and the spirit of Spain. Almost every year, more than
58,000 of Spain’s population die due to by tobacco-caused disease. On
the other hand, more than 75,000 children and 960,000 adults continue
to use tobacco and its products on a daily basis. It was observed that the
deaths due to tobacco boosts the tobacco industry in Spain and also
ensures that tobacco's death toll grows every year.

men die compared to the other countries. The monetary cost of
smoking in Spain amounts to 21 thousand million euros every year. The
direct costs are related to healthcare expenditures and indirect costs
are related to lost productivity due to early mortality and morbidity rates
in Spain. The tobacco industry is a powerful force in Spain that does
not fear any actions due to their extensive resources and global market
power. Thousands of metric tons of tobacco is produced in Spain every
year. More than 3 billion cigarettes are produced in Spain and cigarette
imports exceeded cigarette exports in the country.

4. Advertisement Policies: Spain has banned all forms of direct and
indirect advertising of cigarette on national TV, national radio,
international TV, international radio, local magazines, newspapers,
billboard, outdoor advertising, at point of sale and on advertising on
internet. It also banned cigarette advertisement in free distribution in
mail or through other means, promotional discounts, non-tobacco
products identified with tobacco brand names, brand name of non-
tobacco products used for tobacco product, appearance in TV and/or
films: tobacco brands (product placement), complete ban on

observed in Spanish cigarettes market in the recent years, with only
marginal declines. Despite increase in excise taxes on tobacco
products, the sales did not suffer significant decline. Spain government
has taken measures recently such that some brands such as Marlboro
and Chesterfield will not increase their prices, therefore, reducing their
margins and shaped the overall performance of the cigarette market.
The Spanish authorities made strong efforts to control smuggled
tobacco within the country which has led to a decline in the illicit
cigarettes. Also, the Spanish authorities closed the largest illegal
tobacco production plant in the year 2016. Consumers’ demand for
illicit tobacco has witness a downtrend in the tobacco sales in Spain.

6. Future of Spain’s Cigarette Market and Leading Players: Philip
Morris is the leading cigarette player with more active innovation profile
in Spain than its competitor, Altadis. Philip Morris Spain has launched
its first e-cigarettes in 2015 under the Solaris brand and first heated
tobacco product in 2016 under the IQOS brand. Cigarettes are sold at
the specialist retailers and vending machines in Spain. Few measures
are exerted on distribution to control illicit tobacco and illegal sales of
tobacco. Therefore, tobacco specialist retailers hold a strong share of
distribution in Spain. The Spanish economy has witnessed a positive
growth rates over the past years and will continue in the next few years
although there is no enough support in the growth in sales of cigarettes.
