PROSPECTS AND OPPORTUNITIES
Cigars, cigarillos and smoking tobacco are expected to record ongoing declines
Volume sales of cigars and cigarillos are projected to decline significantly over the forecast period, both in value and volume. This decline is expected despite anticipated tax increases affecting this category.
Fine cut tobacco is set to lose share as consumers shift towards modern tobacco categories
Across the forecast period, fine-cut tobacco is projected to continue its decline in volume share as consumers increasingly favour convenience and shift towards alternative tobacco products such as e-vapour devices and nicotine pouches. As such, fine-cut tobacco is under growing pressure from evolving consumption patterns and intensified competition from newer, more accessible formats.
Low innovation and competition from e-vapour products is set to dampen growth
Innovation in cigars, cigarillos, pipe tobacco, and fine-cut tobacco has steadily declined over the past decade, with a complete halt following the Irish government’s 2020 total ban on flavoured tobacco—primarily impacting fine-cut tobacco. This has made it increasingly challenging for these segments to remain competitive against next-generation tobacco products such as e-vapour devices.
