COVID-19 impact on tobacco

The overall performance of tobacco during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 was relatively muted due to a combination of factors. Curfew restrictions, social distancing and the closure and limited opening hours of retail and on-trade outlets were a particular factor in constraining sales of some categories.

COVID-19 country impact

From 23 March 2020, the government urged people to only leave their homes to go to work or in an emergency. On 31 March, Al Ras, one of Dubai's most densely populated areas, was placed under lockdown for two weeks, preventing all residents from leaving or entering the area.

Company response

In recent years there has been a considerable decline in the consumption of cigarettes and less harmful alternatives in the United Arab Emirates. This is representative of a broader decline in the consumption of tobacco products.

Retailing shift

For the most part, the supply chains for tobacco products in the United Arab Emirates remained relatively undisturbed. Neighbouring countries were more likely to be affected by a lack of staff, transport issues and a difficulty in adapting to the COVID-19 pandemic.

What next for tobacco?

Over the forecast period, the United Arab Emirates can expect to see a gradual loss of momentum for cigarettes as health and wellness awareness continues to rise in the country. This unfavourable trend is linked to health awareness campaigns that highlight the dangers of smoking, which are likely to become more widespread and more startling in terms of being direct and unflinching about the unfortunate physical consequences of long-term tobacco use.
