Cigars, Cigarillos and Smoking Tobacco in the United Kingdom
KEY DATA FINDINGS
2020 IMPACT
Smoking tobacco benefits from consumer drive to attain better value for money due to economic uncertainty created by the pandemic and Brexit
Positive performance for cigarillos thanks to new launches, the ban on menthol cigarettes and consumer price sensitivity
Sales decline for cigars due to cessation of social occasions and the closure of tobacco specialists during the pandemic
RECOVERY AND OPPORTUNITIES
Decelerating growth for fine cut tobacco due to decline in smoking prevalence, competition from vaping and rebound of illicit tobacco
Economic downturn benefits cigarillos as does the ban on menthol cigarettes, while the unhealthy nature of smoking slows sales towards the end of the forecast period
E-commerce continues to garner popularity with convenience stores and supermarkets also maintaining a strong positive trend since the pandemic
