PROSPECTS AND OPPORTUNITIES
Tourism recovery slows decline of cigars and cigarillos
While volume sales will fall further over the forecast period, the fall will not be as dramatic as in 2024. After a challenging 2024, marked by power outages and rising insecurity, tourist numbers should rebound, as security issues and energy supply stabilise.
Uncertain future for local brands
Local production of cigars and cigarillos is small scale, operated by individual entrepreneurs, rather than formally established companies. These businesses often function more as personal ventures—frequently managed and operated by a single owner—than as structured enterprises with long-term strategic plans or formal succession mechanisms.
Minimal innovation from local brands
Local production of cigars and cigarillos in Ecuador remains deeply rooted in tradition, with virtually no innovation in terms of product development or flavour diversification. Local brands emphasize heritage, craftsmanship, and brand legacy over novelty.
