The French market for tobacco: key trends
Article Abstract:
The French market for tobacco is marked by the continued popularity of cigarettes, garnering a share of 92.8% in terms of value in 1997. The tobacco market achieved sales of 7.62 billion French francs in 1997, up 34.6 over the 1993-1997 period. Tobacco smoking displayed the largest sectoral growth over the period, with its value increasing 65.8%. The dominant sector, cigarettes, saw a growing consumer preference for relatively healthy smoke, compelling manufacturers to bolster light versions of their popular brands. Price increases in the cigarette sector is expected to continue in the near future, with the Euromonitor projecting a loss in market share to other tobacco sectors due to this trend.

Summary of trends
Article Abstract:
Europe's tobacco markets are predicted to offer gains to major international branded tobacco manufacturers, while local and monopoly producers have a negative outlook. The primary negative factor is the sharp decline in the numbers of people in the leading smoking age groups all over majority of the continent. Europe is also expected to see significant increase in the tax taken from tobacco in constant terms before prices reach a level where consumption is pulled down at an enormous rate. Smoking tobacco, of the market sectors outside cigarettes, appears to be in the last phases of market decrease in numerous countries.

The French market for tobacco: outlook: market performance
Article Abstract:
The French tobacco market is projected to experience real value increase of 26.6% to 96.5 billion French francs until 2002. The decline in volume consumption of tobacco products is expected to continue through 2000 partly due to more stringent EU anti-smoking laws. Price competition in the cigarette sector is expected to woo back a number of smokers which have quit using the product following prohibitive price increases, boosting market value.
