About Marlboro
Marlboro is PMI's best-selling cigarette brand and the world's best-selling international cigarette, accounting for about 43% of PMI's total cigarette shipment volume in 2025. Under the 2008 intellectual-property agreement signed when PMI split from Altria, PMI owns the Marlboro trademark in every market except the United States; Philip Morris USA, an Altria subsidiary, owns it there. The two are separate, territorially divided ownerships rather than a single global owner.
