Analyst Opinion

Cigarette sales have been declining in most countries over the years. Surprisingly, this trend was reversed during the COVID-19 pandemic in many markets, including the U.S., which saw a growth of 2.3% in sales volumes in 2020 compared to 2019. Among the key factors that contributed to sales increases in many countries were stringent border controls during the pandemic, which resulted in a decrease in the illicit trade of cigarettes, and pandemic-related anxiety, which led to pantry loading.

However, this was only a short-term phenomenon, and we expect volume sales to continue declining in the majority of markets. Nevertheless, there will be a few exceptions to this trend, particularly in Asian countries. In Indonesia, for example, the world's second largest market by volume, we expect cigarette sales to increase in the medium term due to factors such as a lax regulatory environment and cheap prices.

One of the threats to the industry that could cause disruption in the long term is the emergence of cigarette alternatives such as TAAT, which are marketed as lower-risk alternatives that provide the same experience as a traditional cigarette without containing nicotine or tobacco.

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.

In our forecasts, we apply diverse forecasting techniques, such as exponential trend smoothing and regression analysis. The selection of forecasting techniques is based on the behavior of the relevant market.

Additional notes:

The data is modeled using current exchange rates. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the Russia-Ukraine war are considered at a country-specific level. The market is updated twice a year. In some cases, the data is updated on an ad hoc basis (e.g., when new, relevant data has been released or significant changes within the market have an impact on the projected development). Survey data is reweighted for representativeness.
