PRE-COVID-19 PERFORMANCE

Lack of distribution networks hamper popular international brands, but offer opportunity to local artisans in 2019

Cigars, cigarillos and smoking tobacco remained very small in terms of volume and value sales in 2019. The lack of widespread interest meant that, while local cigars and cigarillos were available for purchase at certain bars and clubs, imported products were almost exclusively sold at a limited number of specialist retailers found only in the main cities.

Tourists and affluent aficionados sustain demand in 2019

Specialist stores continue to seduce consumers in 2019, but operate only in cities

Sales of cigars and cigarillos were hampered by narrow distribution networks and related low product availability in 2019. Tobacco specialists stores continued their near monopoly of cigars and cigarillos sales, with Ecuadorian consumers preferring to purchase traditional brands that have heritage and a guarantee of authenticity and believing that such stores will ensure that products are high quality.

2020 AND BEYOND

COVID-19 impact

In 2020, value sales of cigars, cigarillos and smoking tobacco are expected to grow by 2% in current price terms in light of the impact of COVID-19. This remains unchanged from the 2% rise in value sales growth forecast in our 2019 edition of tobacco.

Affected products within cigars, cigarillos and smoking tobacco

With many consumers tightening their spending habits, but still wishing to smoke, Cuban brands are increasingly visible in informal channels in the main cities, such as street vendors, while they can also be purchased via websites like MercadoLibre.com.

Recovery and opportunities

Over the forecast period, cigars, cigarillos and smoking tobacco is expected to maintain good growth, albeit with low sales. Domestic producers have an opportunity to exploit the local hipster trend, marketing to new and younger consumers with an interest in the category.
