The smoking and other tobacco products market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• Over the past few years, there has been substantial growth in the smoking and other tobacco products market size. This market is projected to expand from $24.72 billion in 2024 to $25.97 billion in 2025, demonstrating a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.1%.
Factors that contributed to the growth observed in the historic period include the dominance of the tobacco industry, consumer habits and addiction, cultural and societal norms, effective branding and advertising strategies, and tobacco tax and regulatory policies.
The smoking and other tobacco products market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• In the coming years, the market size for smoking and other tobacco products is projected to experience a stable increase. It is predicted to elevate to $31.34 billion by 2029, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.8%.
This expansion in the projected period is ascribed to factors like health-aware consumer tendencies, a decline in smoking prevalence, regulatory and packaging alterations, substitute goods and damage limitation, and worldwide market expansion. Key trends in the forecast period consist of e-cigarettes and vaping, smokeless and snus products, therapies replacing nicotine, products with reduced nicotine and low-tar, menthol, and flavored tobacco.
The shift in the way of life of individuals, particularly in budding markets, is set to drive the growth of the smoking and other tobacco products sector in the upcoming years. For example, as reported by the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare, a government body based in Australia, from July 2023 to July 2024, the quotient of regular consumers who had their smoking status updated in their GP records increased from 65.1% to 68.7%. The swift lifestyle changes, growth in the workforce, and a growing inclination towards smoking in emerging nations spurred the need for smoking and other tobacco wares. This, in consequence, led to the expansion of the smoking and other tobacco products industry in the predicted timeline.
