PROSPECTS AND OPPORTUNITIES
Premiumisation and flavoured options to drive growth in cigars and cigarillos, while smoking tobacco retains popularity through affordability and customisation
Retail volume sales of cigars and cigarillos are expected to rise steadily over the forecast period, supported by growing associations with luxury, craftsmanship, and lifestyle appeal. Among urban consumers, cigars in particular are increasingly viewed as occasional indulgences or symbols of status, a perception that is amplified by specialist retailers and premium branding.
Market to remain dominated by leading manufacturers, with segmentation shaped by price sensitivity and expanding product portfolios
The Serbian tobacco market is expected to remain concentrated in the hands of a few leading multinational and regional players over the forecast period. Strong brand recognition, extensive distribution networks, and loyal customer bases will allow these companies to maintain their dominant positions in both cigars and smoking tobacco.
Artisanal positioning and product differentiation to fuel innovation in premium cigars and rolling tobacco
Although innovation within cigars, cigarillos and smoking tobacco was relatively limited in 2024, the forecast period is likely to bring renewed momentum in product development. Growing interest in high-end cigars is expected to result in a broader selection of premium, small-batch, or hand-rolled offerings entering the Serbian market.
