global menthol
cigarette market size is expected
to reach USD 99.1 billion by 2025,
according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc., expanding at a CAGR of 3.1% over the forecast period.
The market growth is attributed to factors like fresh, clean, cooling, and
anesthetic (pain killing) effect, ability to reduce harshness of smoke, and
growing popularity among younger generation. Moreover, menthol cigarettes make
the smoke smooth and easier to inhale by reducing harshness of smoke, thereby
making it more popular among women, young generation, and beginner smokers.
The number of menthol cigarette
smokers is increasing owing to the consumers who cannot tolerate the irritation
and harshness of non-menthol cigarettes and those who seek specific flavor and
sensation associated with menthol flavor. The mild property of menthol
cigarettes is gaining popularity among occasional smokers, younger generation,
and beginners.
Consumers who are trying to quit
cigarettes are more inclined towards consumption of menthol cigarettes owing to
the less harshness and less negative effect they feel while smoking. On the
other side, established menthol smokers having strong sensory attributes are
actively seeking for higher menthol concentration level as a remedy for burn,
dryness, and throat irritation caused by smoking of non-menthol cigarettes.
Major market players include Philip Morris International Inc.; Imperial
Brands plc; Korea Tobacco & Ginseng Corporation; Alfred Dunhill, Ltd.; R.J.
Reynolds Tobacco Company; British American Tobacco; Commonwealth Brands;
