The adoption rate of the product is increasing among the youth in major economies, including the U.S.
Moreover, the financial stress caused by the COVID-19 pandemic has encouraged numerous smokers to shift from factory-made cigarettes to hand-rolled cigarettes due to the cost advantage of Roll-Your-Own (RYO) tobacco products. The filter and paper tip segment is expected to register the fastest CAGR of 4.7% from 2021 to 2030. Rapid research and product development of new kinds of filters focusing on removing maximum tar, nicotine, and certain gases are estimated to fuel the segment growth.
Europe dominated the market with a revenue share of 68.0% in 2021. According to a study, it is the artisanal appeal of RYO cigarettes that is driving sales amongst the young European population. Cigarettes witnessed the highest consumption among Europeans.

The consumption of RYO cigarettes in the region is mainly concentrated among men who smoke regularly.
