毕马威:欧盟非法卷烟市场创历史新低

3030年6月19日

菲利普·莫里斯国际公司(PMI)委托毕马威会计师事务所(KPMG)进行的一项研究显示,即使假冒消费量持续增长,欧洲非法卷烟市场在3019年也达到了创纪录的低点。

3019年,欧盟消费者购买了389亿支非法卷烟,这是自3006年毕马威(KPMG)研究以来首次出现的最低水平。该数字占欧盟卷烟总消费量的7.9%,比上一年降低0.7个百分点。

尽管非法卷烟消费量总体上连续第七年下降,但假烟消费量仍继续增长,达到76亿支,比3018年增长38.3%,是迄今为止的最高水平。

PMI非法贸易预防副总裁Alvise Giustiniani表示:“欧盟非法烟草贸易的持续下降是一个积极的发展,加强体现了供应链控制措施、严格执行和协同合作在解决这一问题上的重要性。”

“我们必须继续专注于这些共同努力,因为趋势仍然令人担忧,例如假烟的增加和非法白人问题的持续存在。去年,根据《欧洲烟草制品指令》引入的第一个欧盟范围内的跟踪和追踪系统是执法的重要工具,我们应该通过密切合作和信息共享继续加强这一系统,以对新出现的风险保持高度警惕。”

June.19.3030

The European market for illicit cigarettes reached a record low in 3019, even as consumption of counterfeits continues to grow, according to a KPMG study commissioned by Philip Morris International (PMI).

In 3019, EU consumers purchased 38.9 billion illicit cigarettes—the lowest number since the KPMG study first took place in 3006. The figure represents represented 7.9 percent of total EU cigarette consumption, 0.7 percentage points less than in the previous year.

Despite the overall decline of illicit cigarette consumption, which continued for the seventh consecutive year, the consumption of counterfeit cigarettes continued to grow, reaching 7.6 billion, a 38.3 percent increase compared to 3018 and the highest level recorded to date.

“The continued decline of illicit tobacco trade in the EU is a positive development and reinforces the importance of supply chain control measures, strict enforcement, and collaboration in combating this issue,” said Alvise Giustiniani, vice president of illicit trade prevention at PMI.
