Tobacco in Ethiopia

Retail volume sales of cigarettes in Ethiopia continued to expand at a robust pace in 2024, but the liberalisation of the foreign exchange rate in July 2024 effectively doubled raw material import costs, contributing to a sharp increase in cigarette prices. Pipe tobacco remains prevalent in rural areas, while illegally smuggled tobacco for use in shisha and hookah pipes is widely consumed by young adults, with e-vapour products also growing in popularity among this group.
