Tobacco is a common name for the plant Nicotiana tabacum and, to a lesser extent, Aztec tobacco (Nicotiana rustica). The cured leaf is used for smoking, chewing, snuffing, and nicotine extraction after maturation and processing in various ways. Other Nicotiana species, collectively known as flowering tobaccos, are grown as ornamentals.

Tobacco consumption in any form stimulates brain functions, raises blood pressure, constricts peripheral blood vessels, and increases heart rate. At the same time, tobacco consumption in any form can pose health risks and affect a large population of passive smokers globally. Tobacco contains alkaloids that are highly addictive, making it difficult to quit. Despite consumer awareness of the health effects of tobacco use, the tobacco industry is gaining traction due to the additive nature of the product.

Innovative product marketing strategies used by industry players to attract more consumers, or rather target potential consumers, primarily the youth population, are driving the market growth. The use of automated techniques in manufacturing of tobacco products combined with the rise of online retailing is expected to drive the global tobacco market through 2027. The extensive use of dried tobacco for smoking in cigars, cigarettes, pipes, and shisha; as snuff, chewing tobacco, dipping tobacco, and snus is expected to drive the tobacco market growth in the coming years.

Nicotine replacement therapies significantly reduce cravings and physical withdrawal symptoms, thereby breaking the mental addiction to tobacco-based products. Growing awareness of the high success rate of nicotine replacement therapies, such as patches, lozenges, gums, and other products, may limit the market growth to some extent.

Despite the fact that many industries are suffering as a result of the COVID-19 crisis, with several sectors experiencing a drop in consumer demand, the tobacco market is expected to emerge undaunted and grow rapidly.
