Competitive Landscape
Royal and Aklale Gain Ground as European Tobacco Retreats
Cigars, cigarillos and smoking tobacco in Türkiye in 2025 presented a picture of rising concentration in cigars and cigarillos, while the competitive dynamics in fine-cut tobacco have shifted following a major disruption. Over the years the category has become less fragmented, particularly as Royal Tobacco Cigarette & Tobacco Mamulleri San Tic AS and Aklale Tutun ve Tutun Mamulleri Ltd Sti expanded their shares to 31% and 16% respectively, while European Tobacco Sigara Ve Tutunculuk San ve Tic AS, previously the leading company, saw its share decline, primarily due to the closure of its Manisa factory and subsequent government intervention.
