Marlboro is a brand that has become synonymous with rugged masculinity and freedom. It is an American brand of cigarettes owned and manufactured by Philip Morris USA. Philip Morris started a shop in London where he sold tobacco and rolled cigarettes in 1846. When he passed away from lung cancer in 1873, his brother Leopold and his widow Margaret kept the business going. They even opened a factory on Great Marlborough Street, London, which inspired the name of the brand. In 1902, a branch was opened in New York to sell many types of cigarettes. The name "Marlboro" was ofcially registered in the US in 1908, but the cigarettes didn't hit the market under this name until 1923. When they were launched in 1924, they were promoted as "America's luxury cigarette" and were mostly sold in fancy hotels and resorts.
Marlboro started as a brand that promoted cigarettes for women. They were milder and had a lter to be different from the stronger unltered cigarettes that men usually smoked. The lter had a red band to hide lipstick marks, and the tagline was ‘Mild as May’. But that changed in the 1960s when the era saw a major change in the tobacco industry when scientists published a study that cited the destructive nature of it on people's health.
Marlboro has diversied its product offerings in response to changing consumer preferences and regulatory pressures. The brand has introduced variations such as Marlboro Lights, Marlboro Menthol, and Marlboro Ultra Lights to cater to smokers seeking different experiences. With the growing demand for alternatives to traditional cigarettes, it has also released smokeless tobacco products and ecigarettes.
By introducing Marlboro HeatSticks, a heated tobacco product, the brand made its rst move into the emerging market of reduced-risk products. The brand offers different types of cigarettes to meet diverse consumer preferences and market segments.
From full-avored options to menthol varieties, it has various options available through its extensive product lineup.
In 2008, Philip Morris International made big changes to its brand worldwide. They created a new way to organize the different kinds of Marlboro cigarettes into three groups: Flavour, Gold, and Fresh. This new system was meant to meet the different tastes of adult customers. All three groups still had the same brand style and feeling of condence.
Challenges Faced by MARLBORO
One of the most pressing challenges for the brand has been the global decline in smoking rates. In the United States, the percentage of adults who smoke has decreased from 20.9% in 2005 to 11.5% in 2021.
The rise of alternative nicotine products, such as e-cigarettes and nicotine pouches, has intensied competition in the nicotine market. Marlboro has faced signicant challenges from new entrants offering these products. The market for reduced-risk products (RRPs) is highly fragmented, with many brands experiencing double-digit growth in recent years.
Consumer preferences have shifted towards reduced-risk products due to growing health concerns about traditional smoking. This shift has prompted Marlboro to introduce low-risk and health-conscious alternatives to stay in the market.
MARKET SHARE in Recent Years
Marlboro has historically held a dominant position in the cigarette market, with a signicant market share in the U.S. and a strong global brand value. Marlboro's global brand value was reported to be over 36 billion U.S. dollars as of 2022, making it the most valuable cigarette brand worldwide. However, its share value keeps uctuating and has seen a decline in recent years. Yet, it is still one of the popular brands in the tobacco industry despite the challenges and controversies.
