The import of cigars, cheroots, and cigarillos containing tobacco to France is forecasted to increase steadily from 2024 to 2028. In 2023, actual import volumes stood at approximately 2.18 million kilograms. From 2024 onwards, projections indicate incremental growth, with a consistent year-on-year increase. Specifically, the year-on-year growth rate over this period averages around 1.5%, marking a positive trend in the import volume expected over the coming years. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the five-year forecast period is about 1.4%, suggesting moderate but steady growth.
Future trends to watch for include potential changes in regulatory policies, consumer preferences shifting towards alternative tobacco products, and economic factors impacting consumption patterns. Additionally, any fluctuations in global tobacco production and supply chain dynamics could influence import volumes in the medium to long term.
