COVID-19 impact on tobacco

The overall impact of Covid-19 on sales of cigarettes in the United Arab Emirates has been minimal, with demand actually increasing slightly as consumers stockpiled cigarettes during the early days of lockdown. Furthermore, increases in cigarette smoking are likely to be linked to widespread boredom and stress during the period of social distancing.

COVID-19 country impact

From 23 March, 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.

The introduction of minimum pricing influences sales of cigarettes

The key change to the United Arab Emirates’ tobacco industry during 2019 was the setting of a minimum standard price of AED8.00 per pack of 20 cigarettes.

Competitive landscape impacted by price changes

British American tobacco Middle East & North Africa remains the leading player in sales of cigarettes, followed by Philip Morris Management Services (Middle East) Ltd and Imperial Tobacco International Ltd. At the end of the review period, these three global tobacco giants combined accounted for almost three-quarters of value sales of cigarettes in the United Arab Emirates.

Growing health consciousness and regulation to impact future sales growth

The forecast period is expected to see the image of cigarettes, smoking and nicotine continue to deteriorate among the population of the United Arab Emirates. 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.
