Drivers

• With widely recognized adverse effects, filter demand rises

The cigarette filter market will grow with rising disposable income and changing lifestyles. Additionally, due to rapid urbanization and increasing smoking rates, the market will see value growth over the ensuing years.

• An increase in the trend of cigarette smoking is driving the market

Cigarette smoking among teenagers is becoming more prevalent. People think smoking is hip, lifts their spirits, eases stress, and combats depression and anxiety. The rise in drinking and partying trends affects cigarette demand because alcohol heightens intoxication levels. These are the primary variables impacting the market for cigarette filters. According to the Action on Smoking and Health Organization, the number of people using e-cigarettes has significantly increased, rising from about 700,000 in 2012 to 3.6 million in 2019.

Therefore, it is expected that during the forecast period, demand for cigarette filters will increase along with the rise in smokers.

Opportunities

• The introduction of innovative products and biodegradable substitutes

The leading companies are launching biodegradable cigarette filters faster than their competitors, providing market participants with more lucrative opportunities. Butts are made of the same cellulose acetate plastic as cigarette filters, so they must be discarded after use. Because this plastic takes so long to degrade, it pollutes the environment. The time it takes for these cigarette filters to decompose can range from 18 months to 10 years. As a result, several businesses saw an opportunity and began producing biodegradable cigarette filters, which is expected to propel market growth.

• The popularity of herbal cigarettes is rising, creating profitable growth opportunities

More and more people are turning to herbal cigarettes, which are entirely nicotine- and tobacco-free and contain ingredients such as Indian blue water lily, chamomile, licorice, clove, pudina, and other herbs that aid in quitting smoking. It is anticipated that this will help the market grow. With improvements in cigarette filter technology, new flavors of flavored filters, including menthol, chocolate, and other flavors, are now readily available, which raises societal demand and helps in the expansion of the market.

Restraints/Challenges

• Strict laws apply to the use of plastic and tobacco

With the stricter laws and regulations requiring single-use plastic filters in response to increasing pollution levels worldwide, ceramic filters are finding it difficult to gain traction. Every year, trillions of cigarettes are discarded, releasing large amounts of nicotine and heavy metals into the environment and eventually into microplastic pollution. It contributes materially to global plastic pollution. The expansion of the market has been hampered by the ban on plastic cigarettes in some countries and the impending bans in others. Furthermore, the strict regulations governing tobacco use slow the market's overall growth rate.

• Cigarette filter limitations limit market growth

Non-filtered cigarettes may occasionally even pose a greater risk than filtered cigarettes. Filtered cigarettes reduced the most common form of lung cancer brought on by filter-less smoking, but adenocarcinoma incidence has increased. Therefore, it is anticipated that these cigarette filter drawbacks will slow market growth.
