Cigarettes still smokin' in league of best-sellers

 

By Stephen McMahon, January 18, 2006

 

CIGARETTES remain among Australia's best-selling brands despite advertising bans and big-spending campaigns against smoking.

 

Five of the top six brands are cigarettes, according to the annual ACNielsen's Top 100 brands report, with Longbeach and Winfield reporting annual sales of more than $750 million for the first time.

 

However, the report's findings, which are based on sales figures, are skewed in favour of cigarette companies because of the 60 per cent-plus tax on cigarettes compared with the 10 per cent GST on most grocery items.

 

For the 13th consecutive year, Coca-Cola was Australia's leading brand.

 

In 2005, the top 100 grocery brands generated sales of $14.1 billion - up 12 per cent on the previous year - representing almost one in three of the packaged grocery items sold nationwide, according to ACNielsen's director of client services, Anton van den Berg.

 

The ANZ professor of strategic marketing at the Melbourne Business School, Richard Speed, said rankings of brands never told the whole story.

 

"This report is a measure of sales and therefore a financial short-term measure of brands in which those with the greatest distribution networks will do best," Professor Speed said.

 

He believes the biggest losers over the next 12 to 24 months could be milk brands Pura (11th) and Pauls (12th), which he expects will come under increasing price pressure from supermarket private-label brands.

 

Australian Food and Grocery Council chief executive Dick Wells said middle-ranking brands were under the greatest threat from the expected growth in privately labelled products.

 

The long-term future of premium brands was in the hands of brand owners, and private-label brands would gain market share only if manufacturers lost focus and stopped innovating and investing in their brand, Mr van den Berg said.

 

Nearly half the top 100 brands are owned by 10 manufacturers. British American Tobacco and Philip Morris are two of the top three grocery product suppliers.
