Company Description

When people pick up smoking, British American Tobacco (BAT) picks up steam. Spun off in the reorganization of B.A.T.

BAT's global cigarette brands include Dunhill, Kent, Lucky Strike, and Pall Mall -- accounting for about 60% of its sales volume -- in a portfolio of some 200. The company also produces loose tobacco and regional cigarette brands. BAT owns 42% of Reynolds American, the #2 US cigarette maker created via the merger of BAT's Brown & Williamson unit with R.J. Reynolds Tobacco. BAT holds about 30% of India's ITC, as well.

    Competitive Landscape Brief

    Demand is driven by discretionary consumer spending and awareness of the health effects of smoking. The profitability of individual companies depends on effective marketing. Large companies enjoy economies of scale in manufacturing and in their ability to offer wider ranges of products. Small companies can compete effectively through heavy discounting, through clever branding and packaging, and by exploiting niche categories such as pipe tobacco and additive-free cigarettes. The industry is capital-intensive: average annual revenue per worker is more than $2 million.
