Cigarette Industry Overview: Cigarette
is a small cylinder filled with fine processed tobacco leaves, rolled into thin
white paper and used for smoking. The most modern cigarettes manufactured are
filtered cigarettes and are not safe. Cigarettes are usually drug
administration systems used for the delivery of nicotine in acceptable and
attractive forms. They are addictive due to nicotine and cause cancer, heart
problems, and other health problems. Smoking rate has greatly declined in the
developed world, but continue to rise in the developing nations. The rising
disposable income, increase in female smokers and modernization has led to the
increase in smokers who are fuelling the growth of cigarette market. However,
there is an increased demand for e-cigarettes which is a major threat to the
traditional cigarette market.
Industry Overview and Leading Players in Netherlands: It was observed that the demand and sales of cigarettes has
declined due to higher taxation, restrictions on smoking in public places and consumer’s
increasing health awareness. Also, a majority of the Netherland smokers are switching
to vapour products, which are perceived as less harmful than traditional
cigarettes. The cigarette industry in Netherlands is highly concentrated. The
major leading players are Philip Morris Holland, British American Tobacco
Netherlands, JT International Co Netherlands and Imperial Tobacco Netherlands.
Philip Morris Holland accounts for a major volume share followed by the other
three players.
Cigarettes in
Netherlands are sold at various shops and supermarkets. Not all variants of
cigarettes are the same. Smokers prefer many different tastes and strengths and
manufacturers aim for excellence in every step of cigarette manufacturing.
Food-type ingredients and flavourings are added to few types of cigarettes so
as to balance the natural tobacco taste, replace sugars lost in curing and give
individual brands their characteristic flavour, aroma, control moisture,
protect against microbial degradation and act as binders or
fillers. Nicotine is not added in making cigarettes because it is
naturally available in all varieties of tobacco plants. The cigarette filter,
paper and level of filter ventilation are all chosen to affect the sensory
strength and smoke yield of a cigarette. Biodegradability of the cigarette
filter depends on the type of filter and paper used which can degrade over a
month to three-year time period, in certain environments. For other variants of
filters, such as polymers or glues, the degradability is questionable and needs
eco-toxicity and degradation testing. Almost all the tobacco manufacturers in
Netherlands are required to redress the damage caused to the ecology from
tobacco wastes. Ecological tax is imposed on cigarettes in Netherlands along
with the uninterrupted rise of tobacco excises.
E-cigarettes in Netherlands: E-cigarettes
are economical than regular cigarettes because of the heavy taxes levied and increased
cost. With the implementation of anti-smoking policies in Netherlands, there is
an increased in the taxes on traditional cigarettes. The rising price of
cigarettes has led to the increasing adoption of e-cigarettes as they are a
cost-efficient. Use of kits for e-cigarettes is more economical than an average
heavy smoker spends on traditional cigarettes. Many manufacturers are
constantly developing new types of e-cigarettes to cater to the tastes, flavour
and needs of customers. They are also experimenting with innovative vapour
flavours, device shape, and technology. British American Tobacco introduced a
new type of heat-not-burn device, glo iFuse that combines e-cigarette
technology and fresh tobacco leaves known as hybrid cigarettes. They use small
amounts of tobacco to improve the flavour of e-cigarettes. British American
Tobacco Netherlands and Imperial Tobacco Netherlands are the leading players in
the e-cigarettes category in Netherlands.
Future of Cigarettes Market in Netherlands: Netherlands government has banned smoking in public transport,
international transportation, bus stops, shopping centres, underground and
surface pedestrian crossings, in presence of kids or near people who are
against tobacco smoking, educational institution, all public places such as
parks, beaches, hotels, clubs and many others. According to the statistics,
cigarette production was reduced drastically in Netherlands which is a positive
sign. Netherlands cigarette consumption and production will witness a drastic
downfall in the next few years and this trend may continue for a long time in
the near future.
