Mass was the largest segment with a revenue share of 78.85% in 2023. Horizon Databook has segmented the China cigar and cigarillos market based on mass, premium covering the revenue growth of each sub-segment from 2018 to 2030.
Cultural factors play a significant role in the cigar market dynamics in China. Smoking, particularly cigars, is often linked to social events and professional gatherings, making it a symbol of prestige and wealth.
The act of gifting cigars during important occasions is deeply ingrained in Chinese culture, further driving demand. In addition, the rise of Western influences and exposure to international lifestyles has contributed to a growing interest in premium cigars, particularly those from renowned cigar-producing countries like Cuba and the Dominican Republic.
In terms of market segmentation, cigars dominate the category, with a significant share attributed to larger, premium products that are perceived as luxury items. Cigarillos, while popular, represent a smaller segment of the market. Specialty stores are crucial for distribution, as they offer a wide variety of authentic products, ensuring quality and addressing consumer concerns about counterfeit goods.
