Tobacconists in Germany Industry Data and Analysis
Industry sales developed positively overall between 2019 and 2024, growing by an average of 1.4% per year. However, demand for and sales of cigarettes, fine-cut tobacco, cigars and cigarillos have fallen in the last two years. Inflation has unsettled tobacco consumers, who have therefore turned to cheaper bulk packs or cheaper brands. The prices of tobacco products have also risen sharply. The price increases were caused both by high inflation and the higher costs of manufacturing tobacco products as well as by increases in tobacco tax. As part of the Tobacco Tax Modernisation Act, it was decided to gradually increase tobacco tax between 2022 and 2026. In the cigars segment, this is likely to lead to a further decline in the low-price segment, while the classic cigars and cigarillos segment will remain relatively stable or decline slightly. Since 2022, the retail sector has also been faced with inflation-related additional costs, above all higher energy costs, which have had a negative impact on earnings. The increase in the minimum wage was an additional cost driver.
