Cigarette and Tobacco Product Manufacturing in Australia Industry Market Research Report Now Updated by IBISWorld
PRWeb - Sun Jul 27, 8:01AM CDT
Although Cigarette and Tobacco Product Manufacturing in Australia is restricted to two companies, heavy government regulation results in extremely fierce competition. According to IBISWorld industry analyst Spencer Little, "Demand for cigarettes has declined over the past five years due to rising health concerns, frequent anti-smoking campaigns, increasing regulation and higher excise taxes." As a result, industry revenue is estimated to fall at a compound annual 0.8% over the five years through 2014-15. Revenue is forecast to drop by 3.8% in 2014-15 to reach $1.8 billion. Smoking tobacco has been proven to cause a range of health issues such as lung cancer, throat cancer and respiratory diseases. Industry products therefore cannot be advertised and must be sold in plain packaging that includes health warnings. Excise taxes, which are excluded from the industry's cost structure, have risen over the past five years. However, profitability has increased over this period, as manufacturers have been able to increase cigarette prices due to the relatively inelastic demand for tobacco products.
