United Kingdom Cigars and Cigarillos, 2021

Summary

United Kingdom Cigars and Cigarillos, 2021, is an analytical report by the publisher that provides extensive and highly detailed current and future market trends in the Uk tobacco market. It covers market size and structure along with per capita and overall consumption. Additionally, it focuses on brand data, retail pricing, prospects, and forecasts for sales and consumption until 2030.

Tobacco is a market that is in long-term decline in the UK. A combination of rising prices, growing health awareness, and the recent arrival of safer alternatives, such as e-cigarettes, resulted in all sectors suffering a fall in sales. As of 2020 total volumes were forecast to be down by 35.4% from levels a decade earlier. Cigarettes dominate with 74% of sales in 2020 followed by smoking tobacco with 23.7% of sales. Cigars and cigarillos take a much smaller share of the market with 2.1% of volumes in 2020.

Scope
  • Cigars and cigarillos share is up over the past decade from 1.9% in 2010 to 2.1% in 2020 in the UK tobacco market with the arrival of menthol cigarillos in 2020 doing much to stimulate this market.
  • COVID-19 is forecast to have a positive impact for the market with the early lockdown and the wider trend towards working from home both assisting in sales. The publisher believes that volumes, excluding menthol cigarillos which are set to see strong sales in 2020 above 2018.
  • There has been a shift in the pattern of trade towards importing smaller cigar products since the beginning of the 1990s.
