In 2023, the import volume of cigarette paper except in rolls of a width not exceeding 5 cm to the US stood at approximately 18 million kilograms. From 2024 onwards, the forecasted data suggests consistent growth in imports, with increases each year leading to a volume of 19.626 million kilograms by 2028.
