Japan Tobacco Is Catching Up on Reduced Risk While Its Combustibles Position Remains Strong
Business Strategy and Outlook
Japan Tobacco is the third-largest tobacco company by volume, globally excluding China, with a market share of about 10%, according to Euromonitor. Its competitive edge is greatest in its home market, where it holds a commanding 60% cigarette market share, though global competitors have started chipping away at its share position. However, the popularity of its leading brands, especially Mevius, extends to other Asia Pacific countries as well.
