Cigarettes in Moldova, 2019
Summary
The size of the Moldovan cigarette market is distorted by counterfeit trade, with an outflow of re-exported cigarettes to other markets, in particular Romania. The market suffered from the difficult economic conditions during the 1990s after the break-up of the Soviet Union. Loss of export trade, currency fluctuations, and the wider economic turmoil that the break-up caused led to cigarette sales falling back considerably to 7.7 billion pieces in 1991. The recession, which had the most impact in 1995, reduced legitimate sales to a low of 3.6 billion pieces.
Over the long term, cigarette consumption has been erratic on an annual basis. Economic difficulties, the effects of recurrent drought on leaf growing, and extensive infrastructure problems, including frequent power cuts, have meant that supply issues rather than demand have been the key factors impacting on consumption trends. Besides the issue of non-duty paid sales, the Tanzanian cigarette market remains one of the more challenging in the region.
Scope
- Historically, the bulk of cigarettes imported into Moldova had been either non-duty paid, or unrecorded private imports.
- Moldova has traditionally had only one cigarette manufacturer: Tutun-CTC. Until the recent purchase in January 2019 of a 90.8% stake by Le Bridge Corporation, Tutun-CTC had long been a privatization ambition for the government.
- Cigarettes are subject to an ad valorem and specific excise duty and VAT and also, if imported, import duties and a customs clearance fee. An excise stamp system is now in operation.
- Based on the latest available data, GlobalData estimates an overall regular smoking population of 642,000 adults (aged 18 years and over) in 2018, which is equivalent to 23.7% of the adult population.
