Imperial Brands is the fourth largest international tobacco company, and the leader in OTP. It is particularly vulnerable to the global cigarette volume decline as its sales focus on rapidly diminishing developed markets. Imperial’s growing focus on NGPs is a strategic strength; however, the lack of HNB products could be a major weakness in the future. Notably, Imperial is the only tobacco multinational that looks ready to enter the legal cannabis market should the opportunity arise.
