Tobacco will remain popular in 2021. However, tax rises have hurt sales of locally produced cigarettes, allowing imported brands to capitalise.
Like most markets, the measures taken to control the spread of COVID-19 in 2020 had a significant impact on the local economy. This in turn is forcing some consumers to either cut back on the amount of tobacco they consumed, or switched to cheaper brands.
In urban areas, smoking and tobacco consumption continues to be widely accepted among male adults in the country. Smoking among young adults is frowned upon by society in general; however, this does not seem to deter them from consuming tobacco.
The rise in prices have affected leading brands, with taxes on local brands increasing from 38% to 39% in 2021. However, there are also more variations in cigarettes in terms of taste, strength and brand.
Distribution in Côte d’Ivoire can be extremely challenging, especially in rural areas, due to bad road networks. Previous civil wars have taken their toll on the country, leaving many cities without roads.
