In 2023, the sold production of smoking tobacco in the Netherlands stood at 15.779 million kilograms. Based on the forecasted data, the production is expected to grow steadily year-on-year, reaching 16.121 million kilograms by 2028. The year-on-year variation percentages indicate a minor but consistent growth trend:
- 2024: +0.44%
- 2025: +0.44%
- 2026: +0.43%
- 2027: +0.42%
