Summary
The incidence of smoking among Japanese males is very high but has been steadily declining, 30.3% of Japanese men still smoke compared with 9.8% of women over the age of 20 years. Overall 19.6% of adults smoked in 2014, substantially down from 36.7% in 1990. Japan Tobacco retains a legal monopoly over cigarette production in Japan and remains the dominant supplier. In 2014 its overall share stood at 60.4%. Its principal competitor is PMI with 25.9% with BAT also present with a share of 12.3%.
Key Findings
- The Japanese market remains dominated by locally produced national brands. Although this dominance was showing signs of weakening between 2009 and 2012, a resurgence in the profile of locally produced cigarettes to 66.4% was recorded in 2014, a gain of over 10% since 2011.
- Volumes dropped back by an estimated 8.9% in fiscal 2015 with ERC expecting further falls beyond 2014. Indeed if consumption tax is increased again in the short-term, to the planned 10.0%, the rate of decline could be greater.
- With the Japanese now taking proactive steps to reduce smoking, sales are set to fall sharply over the coming decade. Per capita volumes are forecast down 22.8% in 2023 compared to 2013. Total sales are set to fall 24.5% over the same period by 2023.
