PROSPECTS AND OPPORTUNITIES
Fine cut tobacco will continue to make gains, while pipe tobacco will emerge as niche area of growth
The market for cigars, cigarillos, and smoking tobacco in Argentina is projected to remain broadly flat in volume terms over the forecast period. Fine cut tobacco, which accounts for the majority of sales, is expected to continue gaining share from cigarettes.
Tabacalera Sarandí ceases domestic production to focus on premium products
Rising consumer interest in premium cigars, cigarillos, and smoking tobacco - boosted by anticipated growth in inbound tourism - is likely to fuel demand across high-end segments. In line with this trend, Tabacalera Sarandí, in partnership with Imperial Brands, introduced Gauloises fine cut tobacco in March 2024.
Less restrictive government policies may fuel rebound of imported offerings
New measures implemented by President Milei’s administration have accelerated the importation process for tobacco products, providing greater logistical and financial flexibility. This shift is being facilitated through the SEDI regime (Statistical Import System), which improves precision in both payment processing and merchandise delivery.
