DATAMONITOR

The US tobacco market is highly concentrated, with the top three players collectively accounting for 90% of the total market value. The US tobacco market has seen increasing legislation and government regulation with regards to smoking, which limits existing players and discourages new entrants. Moreover, with a new proposal to post graphic posters warning of the dangers of using tobacco products, is to be approved soon in the later part of 2010. This would certainly bring many more regulations into market. Furthermore, due to the dominance of large players such as Altria Group, Reynolds American and Lorillard, coupled with advertising restrictions in many states, new entrants would find it increasingly difficult to establish a brand. Also, because of the health implications associated with tobacco products, there are a number of benefits to consumers from using substitutes, which is why there is a moderate threat from substitute non-durable goods in this market. Rivalry in the market is boosted by the lack of product differentiation and the pressure placed on market players by the illicit cigarette trade.

FIVE FORCES ANALYSIS

Buyer power

DATAMONITOR

The retailers are considered as buyers in the tobacco market. The main retailers for the US tobacco market include independent retailers, service stations and supermarkets/hypermarkets. The concentration of retail outlets is relatively fragmented in the tobacco market, as there are a number of outlets where the products can be sold. In the US, independent retailers are the most dominant distribution channel, with 27.8% share of total distribution. Furthermore, tobacco products are just one of many products sold by most retailers, which illustrates that in most cases retailers are not reliant upon tobacco sales, which increases buyer power. Customers are likely to be loyal towards certain brands, so there is potentially some pull-through of end-consumer demand on retailers, which decreases buyer power to some extent. Overall, the buyer power in this market is moderate.

FIVE FORCES ANALYSIS

Supplier power
Figure 7: Drivers of supplier power in the tobacco market in the United States, 2010

DATAMONITOR

Tobacco is an agricultural product and therefore key suppliers to the tobacco market include tobacco leaf farmers. These farmers lack power in the supply chain because of their smaller size, with many farms being family run businesses, particularly those in developing countries. Further inputs to the market include processing aids, humectants (which keep the tobacco moist and pliable), preservatives and brand-specific flavors. Other key inputs include packaging materials, such as paper/card, plastic, and foil to protect and preserve the products of this market. Companies such as Alcan Packaging, who are a leading global manufacturer of tobacco packaging, are key suppliers to the tobacco market. Alcan's inputs include in-line rotogravure printed hinge-lid blanks and soft packs. They are also the world's largest supplier of RYO (Roll Your Own) tobacco booklet covers, as well as printed OPP film (Oriented Polypropylene film), bundle wraps and tobacco pouches. Another global tobacco packaging supplier is Amcor. Due to the relative size of key suppliers, their respective influence over the market is increased. There are limited alternative raw materials in this market, so players are unlikely to switch supplier, which increases supplier power. Overall, supplier power is fairly moderate.

New entrants

DATAMONITOR

Legislation and government regulation with regards to smoking also continue to grow in this market, for example, restrictions on smoking in public places and pictorial health warnings have been adopted in a number of US states. For instance, in May 2010, the US government proposed that convenience stores and other retailers in certain states be required to post graphic poster warnings of the dangers of using tobacco products. Current tobacco control strategies seek primarily to decrease the demand for cigarettes through measures that encourage individuals to adopt healthier behaviors, raising entry barriers. Moreover, with a possibility of the FDA taking over regulation of tobacco in USA, will bring more regulations in place, making it tough for new entrants. Furthermore, shelf-space in retail outlets is finite and retailers may be unwilling to stock products of an entirely new, unproven brand. Overall, there is a weak threat from new entrants to the US tobacco market.

FIVE FORCES ANALYSIS

Substitutes
Figure 9: Factors influencing the threat of substitutes in the tobacco market in the United States, 2010

Source: Datamonitor

DATAMONITOR

Substitutes in the tobacco market may include various non-durable consumer goods, for example nicotine gum, nicotine patches, and herbal cigarettes. However, there are inter-segmental substitutes apparent within this market, alternatives to cigarettes and fine cut tobacco products include smokeless tobaccos, cigars and pipe tobacco. Players and consumers alike may substitute one tobacco product for another, with players who specialize in the manufacture of cigarettes diversifying into cigars for example. However, inter-segmental substitution still involves essentially the same product. The benefits of substituting tobacco products for alternate non-durable consumer goods are especially notable in concerns to consumer health, largely due to the health implications associated with smoking (e.g. increased risk of lung cancer, heart disease etc.). Furthermore, because of the addictive quality of nicotine present in tobacco products, many smokers who want to quit, attempt to do so by substituting tobacco products for products such as nicotine gum, or patches. These products fulfill the consumer's need for nicotine, without the harmful effects of inhaling smoke. Unlike tobacco products, which face restrictions on advertising in many markets, nicotine replacement products are highly promoted through a range of media. Overall, there is a moderate threat from substitutes in the US tobacco market.

Rivalry

DATAMONITOR

The US tobacco market is highly concentrated, with leading players such as Altria Group, Reynolds American and Lorillard collectively holding 90% of the total market value. Product differentiation is essentially limited between the core tobacco products, which include: chewing tobacco, cigars and cigarillos, cigarettes and loose tobacco, which increases rivalry. Illicit tobacco supplies through smuggling and counterfeit trade impact upon players' revenues, which will serve to boost rivalry. The fairly slow market growth in the US tobacco market compared to other regions does very little to ease rivalry among the players. Overall, there is a moderate degree of rivalry in the US tobacco market.
