Smokeless Tobacco in Switzerland, 2017

Summary

“Smokeless Tobacco in Switzerland, 2017”, is an analytical report by GlobalData that provides extensive and highly detailed current and future market trends in the Swiss tobacco 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 2025.

The official Swiss market for smokeless tobacco products is extremely small, at 12 tons in 2016, equivalent to 1.5g per capita. There is also reported to be some snus use – estimated at 30 tons in 2014 – but this is imported personally, usually via the internet, and is therefore not recorded. Whilst smokeless tobacco sales rose annually from 2002 to 2009, volumes declined between 2010 and 2016.

Scope

– The overall market for smokeless tobacco amounted to 7.6 tons in 1997
– The market then increased, albeit unspectacularly, to 2016.
– Although there are no official statistics covering production of smokeless tobacco, there are three Swiss companies reported to be producing snuff: FTB (Fabbrica Tabacchi Brissago SA), Count Murai, and Swiss Mopars of Herriswil. Of these, FTB is the only major national competitor.
– It is evident that FTB is responsible for almost all domestic output and provides a useful guide to production trends.
– From April 1, 2013, this rate was increased from 5% to 6% of the rsp.
– Industry sources have indicated that snuff use is most common among younger consumers.
– The smokeless tobacco market is expected to continue to increase annually but is unlikely to achieve dynamic growth unless snus is legalized, which remains unlikely.
