PROSPECTS AND OPPORTUNITIES
Steady growth ahead for cigars, cigarillos and smoking tobacco despite regulatory challenges
The market for cigars, cigarillos, and smoking tobacco in Uruguay is expected to grow steadily in retail volume terms over the forecast period. Smoking tobacco - particularly fine-cut tobacco- will be the main driver of this growth, thanks to its affordable price.
Potential shift towards smaller cigars, led by the media corona
As of 2024, small cigars account for more than half of total cigar sales in Uruguay, and their share is expected to continue growing over the forecast period. This trend reflects a shift in consumer preferences, as cigar smokers increasingly seek shorter, more convenient smoking experiences.
Further innovation will be stifled by tight legislation
Product innovation in cigars, cigarillos, and smoking tobacco in Uruguay is significantly restricted by stringent anti-tobacco legislation. These products cannot be advertised or displayed at retail outlets, limiting their visibility to consumers.
