Tobacco in South Africa

Volume sales of tobacco steadily declined in 2016. This trend was driven by the combined effects of a poor economic performance and intensified government initiatives against smoking. With negligible real GDP growth, inflation reaching 6% and the unemployment rate rising to 27%, manufacturers were further challenged by rising duties, whilst dealing with increasingly price-sensitive consumers.
