Increase in the Number of Convenience Stores to Augment the Cigarette Lighter Industry Growth in the UAE

Based on distribution channel, the convenience stores account for a significant share in the UAE cigarette lighter industry. This can be attributed to the high availability of convenience stores throughout the country. In this case, tobacco shops have also proved to be a competent option. In addition, a lot of people prefers to buy a lighter each time they buy a new pack of cigarettes as they tend to lose their lighters. These factors are aiding the industry growth in the region.

The UAE Region to Provide Enhanced Growth Opportunities to the Cigarette Lighter Industry

The UAE is expected to witness a robust growth over the forecast period owing to the low cost of cigarettes in the region. The growth is driven by the market expansion by the major players and significant untapped opportunities.

Increase in Tobacco Consumption to Bolster the Growth of the Cigarette Lighter Industry in the UAE

With the rise in people consuming tobacco, the cigarette lighter industry in the UAE is at an all-time high. The high rate of tobacco consumption among citizens of the UAE, particularly of above 18 years, has significantly contributed to the industry growth. This, combined with the absence of stringent regulations pertaining to tobacco consumption and high standard of living, is likely to increase the demand for cigarette lighter in the region. Further, the implementation of minimum pricing and the introduction of new regulations, which will allow the legal sale of e-cigarettes and vaping devices for the first time in the region, are expected to impact the industry in a positive way. However, health risks involved, such as lung cancer, asthma, oral health problems, and many others are projected to halt demand growth over the forecast period. Meanwhile, the increasing penetration of the key players in the region, coupled with the rising focus on product marketing, is expected to aid the industry growth in the coming years.
