Germany holds the greatest share of European imports of cigarette lighters and other lighters in 2023, accounting for over half of the total imports. Belgium and Spain follow, with shares of approximately 13% and 11% respectively. Noticeable growth trends have been observed in Greece and Estonia, with significant year-on-year increases. In contrast, the United Kingdom, Slovakia, and Denmark experienced declines. Over the last five years, Estonia, Finland, and Malta demonstrated substantial compound annual growth rates.
Future trends to watch include a potential stabilization of Germany’s dominant position, while emerging markets like Estonia and Greece may continue their upward momentum. Economic shifts and consumer behavior changes in countries with declining shares, like the UK, may realign their market positions in the coming years.
