2020 IMPACT

Sales down, but maturity shows

Overall, the leading categories such as cigars and cigarillos faced major declines of over one third in terms of retail volume sales in 2020. However, once the ban on sales of tobacco products was lifted, consumer demand remained strong in South Africa, which meant that, by the end of the year, the pace of sales rebounded to pre-COVID-19 levels which is testament of the maturity of the category.

Horeca sales and specialist tobacco stores most heavily impacted

The ban on sales of tobacco products affected this category twofold in 2020. Sales in restaurants and hotels make up a significant part of the category.

The preference for Cuban brands is on the decline

Cuban offerings saw a major decline in the latter part of the year, owing mainly to difficulties in importing these products into South Africa. This is due to the fact that there are several import and export embargoes being enforced on Cuba that restrict sales of Cuban products in South Africa.
