Anticipated to reach a sum of US$ 14.1 billion in the year 2022, the worldwide tobacco packaging market is set to experience a demand surge, projecting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.2%. This trajectory would result in the market’s value scaling up to US$ 19.3 billion by 2032.

China’s dominance in the global tobacco landscape is undeniable, as it stands as the largest producer and consumer of tobacco products. Alarming statistics from the World Health Organization (WHO) reveal that over 300 million smokers reside in China, representing a third of the world’s total consumption, with more than half of its adult male population being smokers. This staggering figure is projected to rise further, with FMI’s forecast indicating that China’s market will capture a commanding 42% share of the East Asia tobacco packaging market by 2032, solidifying its pivotal role in the industry’s regional dynamics.

In the United States, controlled tobacco production and stringent government regulations are poised to influence tobacco packaging sales. Despite a significant decline in tobacco production, the U.S. remains a prominent global producer of tobacco leaves, ranking fourth in the world after China, India, and Brazil. States like North Carolina and Kentucky, which collectively contribute to over 70% of total tobacco cultivation, have witnessed increased sales of tobacco products. With U.S. farms harvesting more than 533 million pounds of tobacco in 2018, the data indicates a steady growth trend, with tobacco packaging sales projected to achieve a 2.2% Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) throughout the forecast period.

Furthermore, key players in the industry are expected to explore opportunities in packaging Heated Tobacco Units (HTU). The shift in consumer preference from smoking tobacco to smokeless alternatives is driving market growth. Companies like British American Tobacco (BAT) and Tobacco International are planning to invest in HTU products, further stimulating the growth of the global tobacco packaging market.

“Increasing preference for paper and paperboard packaging, along with growing popularity of smokeless tobacco will create prospects for growth in the market,” says an FMI analyst.
