• Philip Morris International (PMI) is the leading
international tobacco company, with products sold
in approximately 160 countries.
• In 2009,an estimated 15.4 percent share of the
international cigarette market outside of the U.S
• Number one company by volume in 11 of the top 30
markets, and number two in additional 11.

brand since 1972 and is one of the most powerful
trademarks among all consumer products.
• In 2009, Marlboro’s volume outside the United
States was 302.0 billion cigarettes.
• It is larger than its next three competitors combined,
and its volume exceeds that of the top four global
drive brands of British American Tobacco
(BAT) and the four global focus brands of Japan
Tobacco International (JTI).
• Several factors are responsible for the leadership
position that is being enjoyed by Marlboro
cigarettes brand.
• Marlboro has continued with the same amount
of nicotine as it was and thus it is one such
brand that is ensuring safety for the masses.
• Marlboro brand has identified itself amongst the
American icons of masculinity, the cowboys.
• All its advertisements are centered on the
heroics of these glorified brave heroes of
yesteryears.
• Unlike using jeeps, Marlboro advertisements
make use of horses which again represent
originality for heroics and masculinity.
• Masculinity has another test which is apparently
missing in competing brands
