The Italian market for tobacco: market sectors: smoking tobacco: value trends
Article Abstract:
Italy's smoking tobacco sector recorded a 1.4% increase in value sales to L71 billion in 1997 over the previous year. The figure gave the sector a 0.3% share of Italy's tobacco market in 1997, which is 0.2 percentage points lower than the sector's market value share in 1993. The overall market share decline notwithstanding, the sector's 1997 growth, on top of its 1996 growth of 4.5%, signified a revival, albeit small, for the sector. The sector's growth is partly on account of bigger-than-inflation price hikes imposed on cigarettes, which forced smokers to shift to cheaper smoking tobacco.

The French market for tobacco: outlook: sectoral anlysis: value trends
Article Abstract:
The cigarette sector's value share is projected to decline by 4 percentage points to 88.7%, or 5.6 billion French francs by 2002. A continued decline in consumption of cigarettes is attributed as the major reason for the sharp decline. The smoking tobacco sector is expected to increase its value share to 7.3% of the market as it become increasingly popular as a cheaper alternative to cigarettes. The cigar/cigarillos sector is projected to experience the lowest value growth until 2002, at one percentage point to 3.9 billion French francs.
