Summary
Panama is one of the smaller cigarette markets in Central America aside from the passing trade that is conducted in the free zones along the Panama Canal. Legitimate domestic sales have recently been in a sharp decline due to the 2008 public smoking ban and the coinciding movement of the economy into a recession. Consumers switched to contraband because of the hike in Selective Consumption Tax (ISC) in July 2010.
Key Findings
- There is a small cigarette market due to economic and regulation issues, which have helped the contraband cigarette market grow, especially after the government increased taxes in 2010
- No local production and the market depends on imported brands
- Due to factory closures, exports have an insignificant share
- In April 2008, the government implemented a ban on tobacco advertising as well as on smoking in public places .
- Per capita consumption rates based on legitimate cigarettes is low and in decline.
