Analyst Opinion

Tobacco products have been the focus of tightening regulations for decades. Higher taxation and increasing health awareness among consumers have reduced smoking rates and volume consumption significantly in the past. Over the forecast period, a certain stabilization of these losses is expected to happen. Most growth in the sector, however, is attributable to novel, risk-reduced products that can broadly be classified as vaping products or e-cigarettes (e.g., Juul).

As a basis for evaluating markets, we use annual financial reports of the market-leading companies and industry associations, trade data, national statistical office data, third-party studies and reports, survey results from our primary research (e.g., the Statista Consumer Insights Global Survey), as well as performance factors. In addition, we use relevant key market indicators and data from country-specific associations, such as smoking rates, consumer spending, and consumer price index. This data helps us estimate the market size for each country individually.
