PROSPECTS AND OPPORTUNITIES
Price sensitivity, tourism trends and smoking bans will shape cigars and cigarillos performance
Over the forecast period, cigars and cigarillos are expected to register a gradual decline in retail volume sales. The growth seen in price fighter cigarillos during the review period is anticipated to taper off due to category maturity.
Cultural norms, climate and lax enforcement support sustained, though declining, demand
Despite downward trends, the overall rate of decline in both categories is expected to be slower than in many Western European markets. This is due to cultural and environmental factors that continue to support smoking behaviour in Greece.
Limited innovation expected as companies prioritise new generation tobacco products
Looking ahead, innovation within cigars, cigarillos and smoking tobacco is expected to remain minimal. Most major tobacco manufacturers are redirecting their research and development resources towards heated tobacco, vaping products and other reduced-risk alternatives.
