Summary
The overall market for tobacco products fluctuated in recent years in large part because of the impact of fiscal and regulatory policies on tobacco use. While sales fell in Czech Republic in 2013, they were up in 2014 and 2015. The smoking tobacco market in Czech Republic is relatively small although it has benefited from significant expansion in recent years. Volumes were up by 97.1% in 2011, 20.4% in 2012, 8.6% in 2013, 9.0% in 2014 and 15.8% in 2015.

Key Findings
- Taxes on tobacco products have recently been increasing and this has helped push smokers from manufactured cigarettes to RYO alternatives.
- Evidence since 2009 suggests that these increases are also pushing cigarette smokers towards contraband.
- The impact of sudden tax hikes can be significant with a 13.0% rise in excise tax at the beginning of 2016 set to bring about a fall in smoking tobacco sales.
- The rise in the popularity of smoking tobacco would suggest that a major expansion in local consumption has taken place since 2004, after the Czech Republic joined the European Union (EU).
- The market is dominated by multinationals with Imperial Tobacco leading, followed by Philip Morris and British American Tobacco.
