煙草在線據《煙業通訊》報道編譯　　菲莫國際總裁兼首席執行官路易斯·金瑞利稱，預計在2015年以前，全球（中國除外）煙草行業的卷煙銷量會有一個從保持穩定到每年持續小幅下滑1.3%的變化。

　　金瑞利11月13日在紐約摩根士丹利全球消費者零售會議上向投資者發言稱，菲莫國際預計，非經合組織市場主要受有利人口驅動的進一步增加的銷量，將被經合組織市場長期持續下滑的銷量抵消掉。

　　菲莫國際預測，包括中國在內的國際卷煙市場將會有一個從保持穩定到每年有1.1%的增長幅度。

　　菲莫國際2012年全年有望達到中長期年度有機產量增長1%的目標。

　　同時，金瑞利表示，菲莫國際已完成了對3個“下一代產品（NGPs）平臺”中首個平臺的探索性臨床研究，并計劃明年再創建8個平臺。菲莫國際在歐洲的首個下一代產品生產設備將于明年年中開工。

　　菲莫國際計劃在未來3年內進行大量投資，使下一代產品的初期年產能達到大約300億支。

　　下一代產品的商品化計劃在2016至2017年期間完成。

World's Cigarette Volume Roughly Stable through 2015, Says PMI Chief

　　The international (excluding China) tobacco industry cigarette volume forecast through 2015 ranges from stable to a continued modest annual decline of up to 1.3 per cent, according to Philip Morris International's chairman and CEO, Louis Camilleri.

　　Addressing investors yesterday at the Morgan Stanley Global Consumer & Retail Conference in New York, Camilleri said that PMI expected further growth in non-OECD markets, driven mainly by favorable demographics, to be offset by a continued long-term decline in OECD markets.

　　Including China, PMI expects the international cigarette market to be stable to increasing by up to 1.1 per cent a year.

　　PMI expects to meet its mid- to long-term annual organic volume growth target of one per cent for the full-year 2012.

　　Meanwhile, Camilleri said that PMI had completed an exploratory clinical study for the first of its three 'Next Generation Product (NGPs) platforms' and planned to initiate a further eight next year.
Ground-breaking for PMI's first NGP manufacturing facility in Europe was planned to take place in the middle of next year, he added.

　　PMI plans to invest heavily during the next three years to establish an initial annual NGP capacity of about 30 billion units.

　　Commercialization of the NGPs is planned for 2016-2017. Enditem
