British American Tobacco South Africa - Our Industry

Our Industry

While the total tobacco and nicotine market comprises a growing user pool of over one billion individual adult consumers, global trends are shifting and our industry is experiencing a period of ongoing change.

Generational differences, as well as shifting attitudes towards health and wellness, are expected to increase the growth of new categories of products including and beyond tobacco and nicotine, which are able to provide stimulation and pleasure for consumers in ways previously associated with cigarettes. This is expected to play a role in off-setting the predicted steady decline in cigarette consumption.
