10. Philippines

Market size (billion sticks): 79.1

In Philippines, currently over 25% of the population smoke, including 11% of minors. However, these numbers might change, as the country’s president Rodrigo Duterte, has installed a strict public ban on smoking earlier this year. Moreover, the cigarette sales in the country have been on the decline since 2012, when sales reached 102.5 billion sticks, according to Euromonitor. The decline was driven by higher prices. The cigarette market in Philippines is dominated by Philip Morris Fortune Tobacco Corp, which controls 65% of the sales volume.
