Fast Market Research recommends "Smoking Tobacco in Russia" from Euromonitor International, now available

Boston, MA -- (SBWire) -- 01/26/2015 --During Soviet times, smoking tobacco was scarce as Russians smoked mainly papirosy or cigarettes. Smoking tobacco gained wider acceptance in the 1990s, being imported from Europe. Pipe tobacco is more popular than RYO tobacco. Both product types are expensive for most Russians and are regarded as premium products. Unlike premium cigarettes, smoking tobacco is regarded as a premium or gourmet product. It is affordable by more affluent consumers living in large cities. Unlike many European countries, RYO tobacco is not considered a cheap alternative to cigarettes.

Competitive Landscape

Al Fakher Tobacco Trading LLC is the leader in smoking tobacco with 45% volume share in 2013. The company offers Al Fakher smoking tobacco with wide variety of flavours for water pipes. This brand is one of the largest players in terms of water pipe tobacco.

Industry Prospects

Over the forecast period, smoking tobacco is expected to register a volume CAGR of 3% and a value CAGR of 5% at constant 2014 prices. A smoking tobacco culture is only developing in Russia, and over the forecast period it therefore cannot expect to compete with cigarettes as it does in Germany and the UK.
