The forecasted import volume of cigars, cheroots, and cigarettes with a tobacco substitute to France is expected to decline from 42.88 thousand kilograms in 2024 to 18.67 thousand kilograms in 2028, indicating a decreasing trend. At present, no comparative data is available for 2023, but the consistent year-on-year drops reflect a significant reduction in import volume.
Trends to watch for:
- Increased taxation or regulation on tobacco products could further accelerate this decline.
- Growing consumer awareness and health-conscious behaviors may continue to reduce demand.
- Alternative smoking products, such as vaping, might impact traditional tobacco substitute imports.
