Depending on the distribution channel, the specialty stores segment led the market, owing to availability of large variety of tobacco in these stores.

Furthermore, with consumers gradually shifting toward smoking alternatives in recent years, the introduction of innovative tobacco products in a variety of flavor options has become critical. As a result, manufacturers have shifted their focus to premium tobacco products made from flue-cured tobacco and fine whole leaf.

The introduction of numerous premium tobacco products by manufacturers, such as flavored, long & skinny, colored, and e-cigarettes, has created a strong outlook for the tobacco market growth. Increased investment in R&D has resulted in the introduction of products with lower levels of toxicants. This has aided in attracting a larger consumer base for tobacco products.

The major drivers of the tobacco market are surge in consumer knowledge and increased awareness of products & services through digital media and other sources combined with the advent of social media, which are educating consumers about the benefits of organic products.

There is strong evidence that smoking is linked to negative outcomes and increased COVID-19 severity. Smokers are more likely to contract coronavirus infection than nonsmokers. Smoking may also increase the risk of COVID-19 by increasing the enzymes that allow the virus to enter and damage lung cells. As a result, the consumption of tobacco was reduced during 2020, which had a negative impact on the market growth.
