EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Conservative consumers drive partial development of tobacco market
The tobacco market in Uzbekistan comprises cigarettes only, although other categories continued
to witness various launch efforts in 2011. The cigarette category is well developed and saw solid
growth over the review period. It has generally benefited from a large upcoming generation and
women’s increasing role in society, with both leading to an increase in number of smokers.
Additionally, the category has witnessed numerous new products which have encouraged more
consumers to smoke. On the other hand, the government continued its aggressive promotion of a
healthy lifestyle in 2011 through different organisations. While up until 2010 cigarettes had

2. registered healthy growth rates every year, in 2011 sales started to be impacted by legislative
restrictions.
Sales impacted by legislative restrictions
In 2010, Parliament passed the first batch of legislative restrictions related to cigarettes and
tobacco in general. The market did not respond to this immediately in 2010 as sales were under
the influence of various new product developments. However, in 2011, the impact of legislative
restrictions became visible, with volume sales falling significantly. The government announced a
second round of legislative restrictions in early 2011, which were eventually adopted in autumn
2011 and hindered any strong activity from both producers and distributors.
Distribution channels remain stable
Despite legislative restrictions and subsequent changes in consumer habits, distribution remained
largely unchanged, with consumers remaining loyal to their regular outlets. Although one of the
legislative restrictions was a ban on selling cigarettes by the stick, this did not significantly impact
the sales of street vendors and independent small groceries, which in the past benefited the most
from this practice.
Local production and strong marketing guarantee leadership of British American Tobacco
Uzbekistan
One of the core reasons for the strong development of the cigarette category has been the
presence of local production in Uzbekistan. Thanks to British American Tobacco Uzbekistan
(UZBAT), a subsidiary of British American Tobacco Plc, domestic production has been strongly
driven by competitive prices, traditionally strong marketing campaigns and an impressive product
portfolio. Despite several attempts from other non-domestic companies to reduce the prices of
their imported products, UZBAT’s wide presence, strong customer loyalty and strong cooperation
with retailers has not left room for the further growth of imports.
Despite new legislative changes tobacco market expected to grow
New legislative restrictions were adopted in 2010 and 2011. Despite these restrictions and
consumers’ initial reaction, which led to a decline in volume sales in 2011, cigarettes is forecast
positive growth over the next five years. This will be due to consumers’ rapid adaptation to the new
environment and price competition. Moreover, the growing younger generation is also expected to
strengthen the market’s potential over the forecast period.

HEADLINES
TRENDS
The key story in cigarettes in 2011 was a dramatic decline in volume sales after several years of
growth. This decline was triggered by restrictive legislative measures adopted in 2010 to prohibit
the advertising and marketing of any kind of tobacco product. The tobacco market failed to
respond to such restrictions, with consumer interest and demand falling in 2011.
COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE
The tobacco industry in Uzbekistan consists only of cigarettes, with that category dominated by
the monopoly UZBAT, a subsidiary of British American Tobacco Plc. UZBAT was founded as a
joint venture between British American Tobacco and the Uzbekistani government. However, the
share of the government has gradually fallen, with the company now predominantly owned by the
foreign investor. As UZBAT is privately owned, it is not expected to be publicly sold or offered in
any way. Its strong performance and share gain over the review period can be attributed to a
favourable domestic climate and its monopolistic status.

PROSPECTS
The government of Uzbekistan will continue to use legislation to impact smoking. The first
restrictive legislation was adopted in 2010, with its impact already visible in 2011. However, the
second round of restrictions, which include the ban on smoking in public places, was adopted only
in late 2011 and took effect only in April 2012. As such, its impact remains to be seen.
