PROSPECTS AND OPPORTUNITIES
Limited growth prospects within the broader category
Cigars and cigarillos are expected to remain niche, with little change in visibility or appeal. Limited innovation, high price points, and shifting cultural preferences will likely prevent new uptake, especially among younger adults.
Leading brands are expected to defend their share
In smoking tobacco, leading brands like Al Fakher are expected to defend their position through a focus on pricing, flavour consistency, and distribution. However, they may face growing pressure from vape companies and crossover brands that appeal to the same user base with more convenient alternatives.
Innovation will likely focus on flavour development
Cigars and cigarillos are unlikely to see much product development in the forecast period. Strict regulations and low volume sales make it difficult for companies to justify innovation in this area.
