PROSPECTS AND OPPORTUNITIES
Continued decline expected due to pricing pressures and waning smoking culture
Retail volume sales of cigars and cigarillos are expected to decline steadily over the forecast period, driven by a combination of rising excise taxes and falling smoking prevalence. With additional tax increases scheduled until at least 2027, the category is likely to become prohibitively expensive for a portion of the existing consumer base.
Illicit trade poses a growing risk as regulation tightens
The increasing cost of cigars and cigarillos may also incentivise illicit trade during the forecast period. In response, the Czech government is expanding its tobacco traceability regulations.
Lack of innovation limits category appeal among modern consumers
Innovation remains limited across cigars, cigarillos, and smoking tobacco, which is likely to constrain the category’s appeal in the years ahead. Unlike the dynamic developments seen in e-vapour and heated tobacco – where new devices, flavours, and features continue to engage consumers – these traditional categories have seen little product evolution or brand reinvention.
