World Tobacco Asia 2012 is a major tobacco Exhibition and Conference for the Asia Pacific region.
Destination Indonesia:
Indonesia is the fifth largest cigarette market by volume in the world and the home of the kretek. Around 57% of the adult male population of Indonesia smoke and some 5% of the adult female population, which means a smoking population of around 43 million.
Indonesia is also a growth market. The general view is that the Indonesian market increased by some 5% in 2008, compared with the previous year, to some 168bn sticks. This was due to adult population growth and the fact that tax-driven cigarette price increases have been lower than the general inflation level. And, as well as recording consistent year on year growth, the market has been changing.
A high profile conference will run alongside the exhibition, allowing industry experts to address issues in the tobacco industry and for delegates to keep up to date with recent developments.
