El Salvador is a small market for cigarettes which are all imported, either from Guatemala (PMI) or Honduras (BAT). These two companies dominate sales in this 1.1 billion piece market, with other manufacturers taking only 0.5%. The market has declined by almost 30% since 1990 although forecasts to 2023 suggest some growth in both absolute and per capita volumes: +5% and +2.7% respectively.
