PROSPECTS AND OPPORTUNITIES
Premiumisation set to continue in cigars and cigarillos
Sales of cigars and cigarillos are expected to decline in retail volume terms over the forecast period, continuing the pattern seen over the review period. With younger consumers showing a preference for next generation products, and with consumers in general looking to reduce their consumption of traditional tobacco products for health reasons, the demand for cigars and cigarillos is likely to continue declining.
Some smokers could move from cigarettes to cigarillos
There are some consumers who are quitting cigarettes for small cigars and cigarillos as a way to smoke less. Lifetime smokers in the older generation that wish to smoke less but who are not willing to quit in some cases opt for small cigars and cigarillos, with some of these consumers being unwilling to move to heated tobacco or e-vapour products.
Manufacturers of cigars expected to focus on presenting an indulgent image
Manufacturers of cigars, cigarillos, and pipe tobacco have always focused on drawing special attention the origin of the tobacco in their products focusing on the flavour but also the packaging. In the years to come, the focus will likely continue to be on the origin of the raw materials and the production process, with the emphasis being on showcasing the craft that is required to make a premium product.
