Analyst Opinion

Smoking tobacco (including pipe tobacco but excluding smokeless tobacco) is mostly popular in countries where differences in taxation induce consumers to substitute ready-made cigarettes with roll-your-own cigarettes. This trend can mainly be observed in parts of Europe and North America. In Germany, for instance, roll-your-own tobacco (fine-cut tobacco) is the second-most-popular tobacco product, behind cigarettes, with 17% of the population using it, according to the Statista Global Consumer Survey conducted in early 2022. Similarly, in the UK, 14% of respondents stated that they consumed fine-cut tobacco.

The trend is not so common in the East, however. In India, for example, fine-cut tobacco is not so popular, because of the availability of cheaper cigarette alternatives, such as “Beedi,” which have a particularly strong presence in rural areas.

The Scandinavian Tobacco Group is one of the leading players in this segment. Its portfolio includes fine-cut tobacco brands such as Bugler, Break, Escort, Bali Shag, and Tiedemanns as well as pipe tobacco brands such as Captain Black, Erinmore, and Borkum Riff.

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). Consumer Insights data is reweighted for representativeness.
