Germans reduce their tobacco consumption as prices rise

As Germans slowly continued to reduce their tobacco consumption, the German tobacco market saw a decline in volume sales across almost all categories in 2018, with e-vapour products and heated tobacco being two of the major exceptions to this. However, there was a slight increase in current value sales in 2018 as producers increased prices to maintain profits.

Cigarette manufacturers turn their attention to next-generation products

In the wake of decreasing smoking prevalence, the leading tobacco players are starting to slowly but steadily shift consumers to the so-called next-generation products, most notably to non-cig-a-like closed systems and heated tobacco products. Open vaping systems remains a fragmented category, dominated by smaller independent players.

Stricter regulation benefits large multinational manufacturers

Tobacco continued to be dominated by the big four large multinational manufacturers in 2018, namely Philip Morris, British American Tobacco, Japan Tobacco and Reemtsma (Imperial Brands). Philip Morris remained a strong leader in retail volume sales terms, due, in large part, to the exceptional popularity of its Marlboro brand.

Online, supermarkets and convenience stores gain distribution share

Internet retailing and convenience shopping are growing consumer trends in Germany and this is also true for tobacco. The trend towards consumers shopping little but often continues apace, and the share of convenience store and supermarket retailing is predicted to rise over the forecast period.

Transformation from combustible to heated and vapour products will accelerate

Over the forecast period, tobacco overall is set to record growth in current value terms, while volume sales of traditional tobacco products are set to continue to decline, in line with declining smoking prevalence. In that regard, tobacco consumption in Germany is expected to increasingly shift from traditional, combustible tobacco to next-generation vapour products, including heat-not-burn devices, as leading manufacturers will continue to increasingly invest in next-generation products.
