Tobacco in Bosnia-Herzegovina

| comments (1)

Cigarettes dominate tobacco, accounting for 99.6% of sales by value. The initial part of the review period saw the introduction of VAT and a unified indirect taxation system. During the second half of the review period, the adoption of a new law on excise was the most important development. The new law primarily targets cigarettes, setting the basis for a steady increase in excise from mid-2009. The goal is to bring cigarette prices up to average EU levels during the course of the next decade.


Profitability declines
After an initial cigarette excise increase in July 2009, a second increase took place in January 2010 and again in January 2011. The minimal annual excise increase, by law, is BAM7.5 per 1,000 cigarettes. Cigarette manufacturers and distributors have to cope with declining profitability. They have been able to keep price increases to a minimum, but profit margins are very much reduced. The next excise increase is likely to hit consumers the hardest, which is when real opportunities for cigarette substitutes, especially smoking tobacco, will arise.


Leading manufacturers manage to keep price increases to a minimum
Cigarette manufacturers dominate tobacco products sales. The largest regional manufacturer, Adris Grupa (NBO: Rovita doo), and largest domestic manufacturer Fabrika Duhana Sarajevo are the leaders. Consumers remain loyal to brands with a long tradition, especially Drina and Ronhill. Rovita and FDS managed to keep price increases during 2009 and 2010 to a minimum, which was appreciated by their consumers and especially reflected in the growth of Rovita’s market share in 2010.


Convenience vs specialisation
In 2010, convenience was still the most influential factor in the structure of the retail distribution landscape. Three convenience focused channels - convenience stores, kiosks and independent small grocers - dominate retail distribution of cigarettes in Bosnia-Herzegovina. For other less conventional products like cigars and smoking tobacco, the retail distribution pattern is somewhat different, emphasising the role of more specialised retail outlets or horeca, in case of cigars. Recently adopted laws have imposed new restrictions on the distribution of tobacco products, but these are yet to be fully enforced.


Decline of traditional tobacco products
Over the forecast period, cigarette prices will continue to rise, driven by growing excise duty. Consumers are likely to become increasingly interested in substitutes, especially smoking tobacco, as well as cigarettes from illicit trade. Smoking bans are likely to become stricter, which will further discourage smoking and increase demand for smoking cessation aids and/or smoking substitutes, ie e-cigarettes or even smokeless tobacco.

Despite a slowdown in the economy, retailing shows a good performance. In 2011 retailing experienced a slight slowdown in growth compared with the strong performance recorded in 2010, due to declining consumer confidence and the threat of a slowdown of the economy, due to problems faced in Europe. Nevertheless, companies continued to invest in opening outlets and mergers and acquisitions in 2011, which showed that retailers were still very optimistic about the socioeconomic indicators in Brazil.Discover the latest market trends and uncover sources of future market growth for the Retailing industry in Brazil with research from Euromonitor's team of in-country analysts.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Sales per square metre – an important ratio for retailers
The performance in terms of sales per square metre has become increasingly important in retailing, especially as the price of real estate increased significantly over the review period, and thus forced manufacturers to show a better performance in terms of sales to compensate for the high investment in opening stores or keeping them open. Recently, FIPE (Foundation Institute of Economic Research), in partnership with Zap Móveis, published a survey which showed that real estate in the key metropolitan cities increased by 100% in the last four years. In 2011 the price of real estate increased by 26% in seven cities. The cost to keep a store open increased significantly driven mainly by price of real estate.

Internet retailing suffers from infrastructure problems
The outstanding performance of internet retailing caused some problems for those companies which did not make sufficient investment in infrastructure to meet the growing demand. B2W Cia Global Do Varejo was one of the companies which received a high number of complaints. The state of Rio Janeiro banned the company from selling products through its e-commerce websites in June 2011 due to the growing number of complaints. A similar decision was taken in the state of São Paulo due to the same problems in November 2011. Compra Fácil, owned by Hermes, and Ricardo Eletro also faced problems in delivering products on time.

Further mergers and acquisitions
Retailing is going through a period of consolidation, as a result of several mergers and acquisitions over the review period. The positive socioeconomic indicators in Brazil even during the financial crunch in 2008 and the economic slowdown in the eurozone contributed to further investment by major retailers in expanding their presence in the national territory. Mergers and acquisitions are also a way for retailers to expand their presence more rapidly compared with organic growth, and they can obtain synergies with other companies to increase their bargaining power and improve profitability. Parapharmacies/drugstores led in terms of mergers and acquisitions, with Droga Raia and Drogasil merging in 2011, but still operating separately, and Brazil Pharma, a holding of BTG Pactual, making several acquisitions of chained parapharmacies/drugstores in 2010 and 2011 in different regions of the country.

Optimistic outlook for retailing
Although 2012 is not expected to be a great year for retailing, companies are optimistic about the outlook, especially with the country hosting the Football World Cup in 2014 and the Olympic Games in 2016. As a result, there are retailers which are continuing to invest in expansion, and international companies are interested in entering the Brazilian market through acquisition or by opening their first stores in the country.


The European Tire Market 2011-2015

| comments (4)


New tire labeling legislation, due to be introduced in November 2012, will have a profound effect on the European tire market as it speaks to the core concerns of consumers: cost, quality, and safety. The most pronounced opportunities for growth are in Eastern and Northern Europe where the recession did little to temper the development of the tire markets; in 2011 the tire market in the Ukraine grew by 12%. This upward trend is expected to continue for many of these countries.Winter tire opportunities are present in many of the more established markets across Europe and present the chance for value growth in an environment that expects only modest growth overall. Many of the prime candidate countries for winter tire use are currently underexploited, such as the UK, where only 10% of sales are currently for winter tires.

Your Key Questions Answered

  • What events will have the largest impact on the European tire industry by 2015 and why?
  • Which countries have the highest penetration by winter tires and how was this achieved?
  • Which countries are the most exposed to black market tires?
  • What are the consumer behaviors regarding retailer and tire brand selection, in the European tire market, by country?
  • What are the market shares of the key distribution channels for tires, by country?

The economic downturn has been challenging for all European countries and this has been reflected in the tire market. As a result, the European tire market faces a number of challenges leading to 2015. For the countries with an established tire market, such as the leading five countries, the maturity of the market generally means that little dynamic change is expected to take place.

Features and Benefits

  • Achieve revenue growth by understanding the forecast sales performance of tires by country and adjusting business development plans accordingly.
  • Uncover new distribution opportunities for your products by identifying which types of retailers are most successful in each country and why.
  • Improve your product mix and hence revenues by gaining insight into what types of tire, winter or summer, are proving popular, by country and region.
  • Decide which developing technologies will enhance your forward strategy by understanding the hot topics of today’s tire industry.
  • Develop new strategies to counteract the influx of budget tires into Europe by understanding where they are most popular and why.

The impact of research and development (R&D) is two-fold. Firstly, Asia-Pacific has witnessed the highest growth rates in the worldwide microscope market. This is attributed to the fact that more R&D centers for manufacturers are being established in the region to develop new high-capability products. Countries including Japan, India, and China as well as Korea and Taiwan are making significant inroads investing in the local R&D area.

Secondly, most developed countries in Asia-Pacific maintain strong financial commitments to R&D. During the economic downturn, R&D-driven societies, China in particular, augmented R&D investment expenditures by approximately xx percent each year. Significant R&D of suppliers facilities the region to take advantage of lower labor wages and skilled scientists and engineers.
Demand is increasing for research and applications areas that are not seen in the North American or European market. There is a higher request to specialized capacities into cross section and technical views in biological research activities than in more developed markets.

Additional Information
Cutting-edge technology will dictate the success of vital new deepwater oil reserves
This research found that Brazil and Malaysia both offer huge resources for future markets, but their challenging terrain demands the use of modern infrastructure, showing a strong need for investment from producing companies.
In 2011, 242 oil and gas discoveries were made globally, with the Asia-Pacific region accounting for a 31.8% share of total discoveries, while a 19.8% share was found in South and Central America. More than half of these discoveries were located in offshore regions, and the recent unearthing of high quality reserves in deep water areas is encouraging an increase in offshore exploration.

The discovery of the Tupi field in 2006 triggered a large number of exploration projects in Brazil, which yielded many positive results. Brazil registered 20 deep water discoveries in 2011, and the country has witnessed the highest number of discoveries in one country since 2008. The majority of these discoveries were made in the sub-salt region of Brazil, which is spread across a vast region of the sea, with large areas remaining unexplored.
In view of the country’s impressive fossil fuel findings, oil company Petrobras has declared investment of $224.7 billion for future operations throughout 2011–2015.

The Malaysian oil and gas industry also recorded a significant rise in offshore discoveries during 2011. Malaysia is currently one of the least explored countries in the Asia-Pacific region, but, due to decreasing fossil fuel reserves in many South-Asian countries, exploration activities in Malaysia have gained visibility and importance.
In the past six years, all important Malaysian oil discoveries were made in deepwater projects, while further deepwater fields in various regions are expected to be developed by 2015.

However, infrastructure is dictating much of the success of oil extraction efforts in Brazil. While the presence of pipelines and equipment has led the Campos basin to be far more attractive for investors looking to extract oil, infrastructure in the Santos basin is limited, making it difficult to transport extracted oil to the shore.

To combat this, technology is being introduced in the Asia-Pacific region to improve the recovery ratio of reserves. The average recovery ratio in Malaysia is currently 23%, while in other oil-producing countries it reaches around 45%. The introduction of enhanced oil recovery (EOR) will improve the region’s technical capabilities, and help to recover more reserves by increasing the recovery ratio.

Key Highlights
Buyers predict more capital spending
An analysis of responses by upstream oil and gas companies reveals that ‘new product development’, ‘machinery and equipment purchase’, and ‘IT infrastructure development’ will record a significant increase in capital expenditure over the next 12 months.
Emphasis on product development expected
As global oil and gas demand is projected to increase in the next 12 months, upstream oil and gas companies plan to significantly increase their capital expenditure toward ‘new product development’ and ‘machinery and equipment purchase’.
Increased investment in IT infrastructure predicted

54% of respondents project an increase in investment toward ‘IT infrastructure development’, with an increasing focus on the reduction of carbon emissions and protection of the environment.   For example, in February 2012, Azerbaijan International Operating Company, a consortium of 10 principal oil companies, assigned a contract to Emerson Process Management, a supplier of process automation services and technologies based in the US, to computerize a new offshore platform in the Azerbaijan sector of the Caspian Sea.
Suppliers plan to increase spending on ‘machinery and equipment purchase
Global oil and gas industry suppliers plan to increase capital expenditure on ‘machinery and equipment purchase’ over the next 12 months.  For example, in February 2012, Lux Assure, a developer of novel detection technologies for the oil and gas sector based in the UK, introduced a new chemical detection kit, which determines the concentration of methanol or monoethylene glycol (MEG) in oil and water.

Mixed responses on staff recruitment
According to 38% of respondents from upstream oil and gas companies, and 48% from downstream and midstream oil and gas companies, headcounts in their organizations in 2012 are expected to increase steadily by up to 2%. However, 19% of respondents from upstream oil and gas companies and 24% from downstream and midstream oil and gas companies anticipate ‘no change’ in recruitment activity in 2012, which indicates that slow economic development in developed countries and market uncertainty could reduce recruitment activity.
