World Cigarettes Market Investigated by Global Industry Analysts
Cigarettes represent the most popular tobacco product worldwide, with over five trillion of them consumed each year. Forecasts say the global cigarette market will be worth USD 910bn by the end of 2018, with sales keeping on rising despite facing pressure from anti-smoking campaigns, legislations, taxes and the rise in health concerns. Overall, the cigarette market is characterized by maturity and stability. While sales in the developed countries continue to decline significantly, the situation is offset by swelling sales in the developing world due to population growth. China represents the single largest market for cigarettes worldwide, with Russia and the United States following after.
