COVID-19 impact on tobacco

Due to the outbreak of COVID-19 in 2020, partnered with an increase in taxes, value sales of tobacco rose to 12% in 2020, compared to growth of 3% in 2019. The impact of the first lockdown and the closing of the borders led to stable tobacco sales.

COVID-19 country impact

COVID-19 was confirmed to have spread to France on 24 January 2020, when the first European case of COVID-19 was identified in Bordeaux. Non-essential stores and hospitality outlets closed from 16 March 2020, with only chemists/pharmacies and grocery retailers remaining open.

Company response

After years of strong declines due to the impact of the French government measures against tobacco, the four big tobacco companies, Philip Morris, JT International France, British American Tobacco, and Seita Groupe, declined less in volume terms in 2020. This was due to the outbreak of COVID-19, leading to a lower drop of cigarettes and a switch toward smoking tobacco.

Retailing shift

2020 confirmed the domination of tobacconists, with newsagents tobacconists seeing a high level of share on the landscape. These retailers were previously jeopardised by the effects of strong tax increases and the declining number of smokers.

What next for tobacco?

COVID-19 will continue to impact the landscape in 2021, having an atypical effect on sales of tobacco products. Moving into late 2021 and 2022, the opening of borders and the recovery of duty-free and contraband sales will have an impact on the retail landscape, leading to lower value sales across the forecast period.
