Tobacco industry overview
Tobacco sector is one of the most controversial and long-standing consumer goods industries, and comprises cigarettes, cigars, smokeless tobacco and increasingly, e-cigarettes and vaping devices. Though still profitable, the sector has seen continued erosion in traditional cigarette sales due to health concerns, regulatory pressures and shifting consumer preferences towards reduced-risk products.
Why it matters:
On the one hand, the economic importance of the tobacco industry – as a source of tax revenue for governments, and as an employer – is indisputable and its products are the targets of public health efforts and regulatory action.
- That shift towards reduced-risk products – whether e-cigarettes or something else – is one direction in which it could go. It is already the direction taken by consumers.
- As traditional products decline, tobacco firms are coming under mounting pressure to diversify their investments, as well as pour resources into harm reduction technologies.
Between the lines:
While this means that the tobacco industry is undergoing a transition in terms of its core product – cigarette consumption is decreasing, and health regulations are increasing – it must also embrace new technologies, such as vaping, to adapt to the market.
- These companies are still forced to defend themselves against lawsuits and public health campaigns that target how they do business.
- Issues around sustainability, such as the environmental impact of cigarette litter and tobacco production, will also shape industry prospects.
