Market Report, "Cigars and Cigarillos in the UK", published

The UK cigar market is sizeable in Western European terms, although the overall market has contracted considerably over the review period and there is no evidence that this trend is coming to a halt. Falling levels of consumption can be attributed to price increases, a poor economic situation and a downturn in consumer spend, alongside a continuing impact from the ban on smoking in public places introduced in 2007.

Key Findings

* The UK cigar market is generally divided into three sectors: miniatures, small cigars, and large cigars. Until 2008 small cigars had remained the largest segment of the UK cigar market, but at this point miniature cigars took over as the largest segment, their convenience, relative pricing and higher distribution profile through the multiple sector being the main factors behind their growing popularity.
* UK production is largely geared towards meeting domestic demand, although some output is for export markets. Overall production of cigars and cigarillos has fallen.
* In volume terms, Netherlands is the outright leading importer of Cigar and Cigarillos. Countries such as Spain, Germany and the US import far less, in volume terms.
