1 Market Size

The recent period of growth was brought to a sudden halt in 2010 as a result of the imposition of a new levy on cigarettes which increased prices by Dinars 6-8 per pack with the result being a 6.6% fall in sales by the end of 2010 to XX billion pieces. Volumes grew by 1.1% in 2011, to XX billion pieces, but strengthened in 2012 on the back of falling contraband sales to reach XX billion pieces.
