The forecast for the retail sale of tobacco products in specialized stores in Germany shows a steady increase from 2024 to 2028. The turnover is projected to rise from 13.4 billion euros in 2024 to 16.09 billion euros in 2028. This represents a year-on-year growth rate ranging between approximately 5% to 6% over the period. The compound annual growth rate over the five years is anticipated to be around 4.7%. In contrast, the industry's turnover for 2023 stood at a lower level than the projected values for 2024 and onward.
