The turnover of tobacco products in Germany showed a fluctuating trend from 2013 to 2023, demonstrating an overall growth from €17.33 billion in 2013 to €22.8 billion in 2023. After a slight decline in 2016, the market regained momentum, with a significant jump observed between 2017 and 2020. From 2021 onwards, the growth continued steadily, averaging a yearly increase of around 2.18% over the last five years. In 2023, the turnover stood at €22.8 billion.
The forecasted data from 2024 to 2028 projects a modest annual growth rate of approximately 1.4%, culminating in a 7.21% increase over the five years, reaching €24.91 billion by 2028. This suggests a consistent, albeit slower, growth trend.
