PROSPECTS AND OPPORTUNITIES
Premiumisation to support value sales as volumes stagnate or decline
Over the forecast period, volume sales of cigars and cigarillos are expected to remain broadly flat, with any gains likely to be marginal. While this places them ahead of more traditional categories such as cigarettes and smoking tobacco in terms of resilience, they will still be affected by wider market headwinds.
Flavoured water-pipe tobacco gains ground in urban centres
Although usage of traditional pipe tobacco is expected to continue its long-term decline, water-pipe tobacco commonly known as shisha remains a bright spot within the broader tobacco category. This resilience is due in part to the availability of flavoured variants, which retain their legal status even as most other flavoured tobacco products have been restricted or banned in Slovakia.
Regulatory tightening and taxation expected to limit innovation and dampen demand
The policy and legislative environment is set to play a defining role in shaping the future of cigars, cigarillos and smoking tobacco in Slovakia. Ongoing fiscal pressure has prompted the government to adopt a more aggressive stance on excise taxation, with planned tax hikes expected to occur on a biennial basis.
