Executive summary
Economic liberalisation continues to shape market

The ongoing opening up of Algeria’s economy has continued to shape the size and form of the country’s tobacco market. With the executive decree No 04-331 of October 2004, foreign companies were for the first time allowed to invest in the market, leading to the first joint ventures with non-Algerian companies. The market continued to evolve during 2007, eventually leading to the entry of British American Tobacco that year, along with an increase in domestic production.

Consumption growth slows down

After several years of continuous growth, the growth rate of overall consumption of cigarettes was lower in 2007. Although smoking levels remain high by international standards, slowly increasing consumer health awareness, government restrictions and ongoing socio-economic development of the country have taken their toll. Furthermore, increasing westernisation, changes in consumer behaviour and more stringent enforcement of existing smoking legislation are expected to lead to a shift and stagnation in terms of consumer demand.

High-tar cigarettes dominate sales

Algerians are historically used to smoking strong dark cigarettes. While Société Nationale des Tabacs et Allumettes (SNTA) still held its state monopoly, most Algerians had little choice but to either smoke the affordable legal and high-tar cigarettes or to resort to slightly milder, illegally imported, international premium cigarettes. This situation still leaves its mark today, as most Algerians continue to consume high-tar cigarettes, despite the increasing importance of slightly less potent international brands.

Sales of illicit cigarettes to decline in favour of legal ones

Although exact volumes are difficult to estimate, it is clear that illicit cigarette sales have constituted an important share of the market and will continue to do so. However, due to a number of factors, the prevalence of illegal cigarette imports is expected to decline over the forecast period. Not only is the opening up of the market to foreign brands leading to a certain decline in demand for illicit imports in favour of legal international brands, but also the increasing government crackdown on smuggled cigarettes should make it somewhat more difficult for contraband to reach its destination.

Shisha becoming increasingly popular

Although there is no tradition for water pipes in Algeria, they became increasingly popular over the review period. Although per capita consumption remains low compared to other regional markets, more and more shisha cafés can be seen springing up around Algeria’s urban centres. Although consumption of shisha tobacco is expected to continue to increase slowly throughout the forecast period, it should be noted that this growing consumption has already drawn considerable criticism from the country’s medical community for its increased health risks compared to regular cigarette smoke. It is to be expected that such voiced criticism will cause shisha growth rates to remain low and eventually stagnate in the future.
