PROSPECTS AND OPPORTUNITIES
Niche market with growth potential
The cigar market in Pakistan represents a small, but expanding niche, catering to a segment of the country's growing affluent population. While overshadowed by the dominant cigarette market and the ever-increasing illicit trade, cigars are gaining traction as a symbol of luxury and indulgence among those with higher disposable incomes.
Development of cigar lounges
The emergence of cigar lounges and clubs in Pakistan presents a promising opportunity to elevate the cigar market from a transactional product space to an experiential lifestyle offering. As cigars are increasingly viewed as luxury items associated with sophistication and exclusivity, the development of upscale lounges in major urban centres, such as Karachi, Lahore, and Islamabad, can cater to the country’s growing affluent class.
Changes in product preferences
In Pakistan's cigar market, product preferences are shaped by a niche, but discerning consumer base that values craftsmanship, exclusivity, and bold flavour profiles. Premium, hand-rolled cigars are especially favoured among affluent smokers who associate cigar smoking with status and leisure.
