Cigarettes in Syria, 2019

Summary

Cigarettes in Syria, 2019 is an analytical report by GlobalData that provides extensive and highly detailed current and future market trends in the Madagascan 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 2028.

Syria is one of the larger countries in the Middle East and gained independence from France in 1946. Prior to the ongoing civil war it had a population of over 22 million, although this is currently estimated as down at just under 19 million.
Although the global financial crisis caused a slowdown in growth in 2008, real GDP still grew by 6% in 2009. The economy slowed in 2010, with growth down to 3.2%, and has been in reverse since civil war broke out in 2011. Although there is evidence that GDP will return to growth in 2019 there is much to be done to return to levels prior to the conflict.

Scope

- Since 2011, the impact of civil war has reduced the size of the duty paid market, with volumes down at 14,000 million pieces in 2016.
- Until recently, the General Organization of Tobacco (GOT) was the only player in the Syrian cigarette market and is still the dominant force.
- Following a relaxation in import restrictions, increased but still fluctuating quantities have been entering the country.
- In 2005, a pack of duty-paid cigarettes would typically cost the local equivalent of US$0.89. This would be regarded as the standard sector.
