After the marked fall in sales seen in 2022, manufacturers and retailers are even more pessimistic about the outlook for cigars, cigarillos and smoking tobacco in the forecast period. Until 2021, the category had performed better than cigarettes due to the much stronger progression of taxation on cigarettes than on products in this category, with COVID-19 increasing price sensitivity within the county, and therefore driving a stronger migration to cigars, cigarillos and smoking tobacco.
Sales of cigars and cigarillos are likely to drop strongly too. The decline in cigarillos sales will be due to the ageing of its consumer base, with only blond cigarillos still having room for growth, although flavoured products could also be banned.
The category could face higher taxation and new constraints during the forecast period. From 2023, cigars, cigarillos and, primarily, smoking tobacco will face an atypical increase in taxes/excise that should continue during the following years in order to limit the gap with the price of cigarettes and to follow the cancer plan that has been conceived for 2023,2024 and 2025.
