PROSPECTS AND OPPORTUNITIES
Nightlife will remain a key growth driver
The rate of growth in retail volume sales (sticks) of cigars, cigarillos and smoking tobacco will continue to accelerate in 2025 and be higher across the forecast period as a whole than in the review period. Nonetheless, smoking tobacco in Cameroon faces significant challenges.
Impact of shisha ban remains uncertain
The impact of the shisha ban on pipe tobacco consumption remains uncertain. Historically, enforcement of tobacco regulations in Cameroon has been weak, and it is unclear whether the ban will have a significant effect.
Novel flavours and reduced-harm offerings could find favour among local consumers
Capitalising on the growing interest in premium experiences particularly among younger consumers seeking accessible luxury brands could introduce innovative cigarillo formats featuring novel flavour infusions, unique blends, or limited-edition releases. These would cater to a desire for personalised indulgence at a more affordable price point than traditional cigars.
