PROSPECTS AND OPPORTUNITIES
Limited prospects for cigars and cigarillos
Tobacco consumption in Algeria continues to be heavily concentrated in cigarettes, with limited interest in alternative formats such as cigars, cigarillos, and smoking tobacco. Cigars and cigarillos are perceived as rather exotic products, primarily due to their high prices, which place them out of reach for the majority of Algerian consumers.
Pipe tobacco will gain traction
Pipe tobacco is the only category within smoking tobacco expected to post positive volume growth. This is largely driven by the rising popularity of shisha smoking, which is gradually expanding beyond younger consumers to attract all age groups.
Illicit trade will negatively impact volume sales of smoking tobacco.
Pipe tobacco in Algeria relies almost entirely on imports, as there is virtually no domestic production of this product. This dependence on foreign suppliers makes the category especially vulnerable to supply chain disruptions and fluctuations in import costs.
