Boston, MA -- (SBWIRE) -- 01/26/2015 -- Smokeless tobacco products are not produced locally; all products are imported to Belarus. The state monopoly for all tobacco imports was implemented in Belarus on 1 January 2008; since that date all imports of smokeless tobacco products have been carried out by just one company ? Belarustorg RUE, which is owned by the Presidential Administration. Smokeless tobacco has the status of tobacco products, with all restrictions related to tobacco goods applied to smokeless tobacco as well. The only one difference is that smokeless tobacco has zero excise duty, but products must nonetheless carry the excise mark.

Competitive Landscape

Industry Prospects

The future of smokeless tobacco looks promising as although smokeless tobacco will have to carry excise labels, the excise duty rate will be zero. Zero excise duty gives hope for potential volume sales growth. Over the forecast period the segment is predicted to grow by a 7% CAGR in volume terms. Growth will be supported by the emergence of these products from a still low base and very low penetration of smokeless tobacco in Belarus. From the other side, smokeless tobacco is a barely known product in Belarus, with the lowest level of population awareness of any tobacco product ? a fact that could hamper growth.
