Non-essential retail outlets have been forced to close to limit the spread of COVID-19, but this has had little impact on tobacco sales as supermarkets, hypermarkets and convenience stores have been allowed to remain open. Bars, pubs, cafés and restaurants have all also been forced to close in the UK to try and contain the virus, eliminating socialising and related tobacco consumption occasions.
On 16 March, large gatherings were banned in the UK, with the Prime Minister calling on everyone in the country to stop all non-essential contact with others. People were required to cease all unnecessary travel and to work from home where possible, while avoiding pubs, clubs, theatres and other social spaces.
The UK tobacco market saw a continued shift away from cigarettes in 2019, due to high taxation and regulatory restrictions. Smoking prevalence also decreased due to health reasons as smokers either chose to quit buying cigarettes completely or moved to other tobacco products such as e-vapour products.
Imperial Tobacco Ltd and Gallaher Ltd continued to dominate UK cigarettes in 2019, with British American Tobacco UK Ltd and Philip Morris Ltd the only other major players in the category. While the overall company rankings in cigarettes have remained stable in recent years, in 2019, tobacco companies were busy preparing for the menthol ban coming into force in May 2020, looking for ways to appeal to smokers who enjoyed smoking menthol cigarettes but would no longer be able to do so in the early forecast period.
A continued shift away from cigarettes is expected over the forecast period, as is a further fall in smoking cigarettes. UK smokers are expected to either give up smoking cigarettes completely or shift towards healthier or cheaper products, namely e-vapour products and fine cut tobacco respectively.
