Shisha Tobacco Market Forecast with Potential Impact, Despite COVID-19 Pandemic, Finds FMI 2022 - 2032

 

According to a recent report by Future Market Insights (FMI), the Shisha tobacco market is expected to surpass a valuation of US$ ~19 Bn in 2022 and at a CAGR of approximately 3% through 2032. Shisha tobacco smoking is generally practiced in the company of peers, and it is a key component in social meetings and functions in some cultures. Nowadays, this culture has extended to college and university life. Moreover, water pipe smoking is often shared between friends and family, which is attributed to two factors — it reduces the costs involved in shisha tobacco smoking, and a more emotional one — it promotes a sense of brotherhood, especially amongst the male demography, and makes them feel more socially accepted. This culture has led to the emergence of an increase in the number of cafes, restaurants, and lounges that cater to various services such as shisha tobacco services.

The expansion has resulted in the local availability of water pipe smoking and has encouraged the youth in many countries to go for novel neuro-stimulating experiences. This aspect of shisha tobacco complements the burgeoning growth in the number of cafes, restaurants, and lounges across the globe. The flourishing HoReCa segment (hotels, restaurants, and cafes), especially in developing regions, has coincided with the resurgence of the water pipe smoking culture in countries like India, where shisha tobacco smoking is no longer restricted to the rural areas and has spread amongst the youth in the urban regions too. In developed countries like the U.S., hookah cafes have mushroomed in urban areas, especially around college university campuses. As such, this easy availability has boosted the market growth in many regions.

Consumer delusion that shisha tobacco is less harmful than other forms of tobacco consumption currently guides the market growth. However, as consumers get familiar with the complete truth about the harmful effects of shisha tobacco, the market growth is likely to be affected.

The above-mentioned factors are helping the shisha tobacco market to grow rapidly and with the rising awareness regarding health concerns, manufacturers are innovating and supplying herbal shisha tobacco that is likely to be less harmful compared to the original shisha tobacco.
