PROSPECTS AND OPPORTUNITIES
Brands target premium consumers and take on perception biases
Indian consumers, especially those in the upper classes, have developed refined tastes, and are increasingly seeking premium products. Amongst cigars, Cuban cigars continue to be a popular choice, mainly due to their historical popularity and consumers’ lack of awareness of other options.
Hookah establishments have been reeling under bans in different states across India since the pandemic
During the height of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, several state governments, including Delhi, Chandigarh, and Uttar Pradesh, took measures to prevent virus transmission by banning hookah in all establishments. Recognising that the hookah smoking process involves sharing mouthpieces and hoses, these state governments acted decisively to curb the spread of COVID-19.
