logoMarket Overview

The production of cigarettes requires the use of tobacco paper. Tobacco papers are used in the smoking of tobacco. It is a particularly thin paper with a specific coating that makes it possible to roll it into cigarettes without splitting or cracking. The tobacco paper market comprises the manufacturing, packaging, and general selling of tobacco. The need for environmentally friendly tobacco paper is increasing as people's awareness of the environment grows. Tobacco paper manufacturers are now emphasizing environmentally friendly tobacco papers. They now sell environmentally friendly goods, including filter tips and tobacco paper from non-tree sources. Manufacturers of tobacco papers are also developing new qualities like slow-burning, little smoke, and odor to draw in more customers. These attributes are driving the market for tobacco paper. Technological developments have resulted in tobacco paper rollers that take relatively little effort to roll paper, enhancing the rolling process's efficiency. Roll-your-own cigarettes are getting popular in both developed and underdeveloped countries. The market is being constrained by the rising demand for electronic cigarettes, although sales of these cigarettes are prohibited in many regions due to stringent government regulations. Moreover, rising health consciousness will challenge the industry in the forecast period.

logoCOVID-19 Impact:

Cigarette manufacturing enterprises forced to close due to the epidemic are the primary importers of tobacco paper. Moreover, lower demand and changing industrial production have harmed the market. However, industrial production is expected to return to pre-crisis levels by 2022 and tobacco paper consumption over the projection period.

logo Growth Drivers

  • The growing popularity of roll-your-own (RYO) cigarettes drives the market growth

The rising preference for hand-rolled or handmade cigarettes, less expensive than factory-made (FM) cigarettes, is driving global demand for Roll-Your-Own (RYO) tobacco products. Rolling papers come in a variety of colors, textures, and flavors. These papers provide the appropriate ripping strength, thickness, air permeability, and burning speed control. The demand for roll-your-own cigarettes is very high, particularly among younger generations. This is due to the introduction of tobacco paper rollers, which allow consumers to roll cigarettes more effectively while exerting less effort. These developments are now propelling the global tobacco paper market's expansion. The rising popularity of eco-friendly tobacco papers will also enhance the tobacco paper industry's growth during the forecast period. Manufacturers are introducing environmentally friendly products such as treeless cigarette rolling papers, rolling tobacco papers produced from fruit and vegetable pulps, and cultivated cotton.

logo Restraints

  • Massive demand for electronic cigarettes among the young population hinders the market growth

The rising popularity of electronic cigarettes acts as a market restraint. Electronic cigarettes have grown in popularity and are actively promoted as safer cigarettes and smoking cessation aid. However, stringent government regulations limit the sale of electronic cigarettes in many regions. This has started shifting the electronic cigarette population to the roll-your-tobacco side. Rising health consciousness will also hinder the industry over the forecasting period. Though vendors are now concentrating on eco-friendly cigarette papers, tobacco paper manufacturers are developing a new strategy. High taxes and limited technological impact may further hinder the growth of the tobacco paper market.

logoSegmentation Analysis

Based on material, the market is classified into hemp wood, pulp, rice, flax, linen, and sisal. Among these, the pulp segment led the market in 2021 and is expected to maintain its dominance throughout the forecast period.

Consumers widely prefer these papers for cannabis joints and hand-rolled cigarettes.

Based on paper grade, the market is classified into cigarette tissue, tipping base paper, and plug wrap paper. The cigarette tissue segment dominated the market in 2021 due to its widespread usage in preventing hazardous substance inhalation and lowering nicotine concentration.
