PROSPECTS AND OPPORTUNITIES
Stagnation expected across traditional formats, with fine cut tobacco as a possible outlier
Retail volume sales of cigars and cigarillos are set to continue their decline over the forecast period, reflecting broader structural challenges that weigh heavily on the category. A combination of reduced assortment — particularly following the removal of flavoured products — diminished visibility in modern retail outlets, and weak marketing support from manufacturers is expected to keep demand subdued.
Younger generations increasingly disengaged from traditional tobacco formats
The future of cigars, cigarillos and smoking tobacco is further constrained by a generational shift in consumer preferences. Younger adults are not adopting these traditional formats at rates sufficient to replace an ageing core consumer base.
Innovation limited, but hookah tobacco sees renewed activity through Adalya
Innovation within cigars, cigarillos and smoking tobacco remains minimal, largely due to declining demand, restricted product formats, and the wartime decline in discretionary consumption. Most market players have scaled back investment in research and development, with few new launches from either major incumbents or smaller entrants.
