Middle East & Africa Raw Tobacco Leaves Market Forecast to 2028 - COVID-19 Impact and Regional Analysis By Leaf Type (Virginia, Oriental, and Others), and Application (Smoking Tobacco, Moist and Dry Snuff, and Others)
Market Introduction
The raw tobacco leaves market in the Middle East & Africa is segmented into South Africa, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and the Rest of the MEA. Most African governments are supporting tobacco planting from an economic standpoint as tobacco production increases tax revenue; boosts farmers' employment and income, especially cash income; and alleviates household poverty. Tobacco farming uses less fertile land that might otherwise be unused. Despite a global decrease in tobacco consumption, its use continues to rise across the Middle East and Africa, providing a substantial public health risk. For instance, according to World Health Organization (WHO) 13 million women in Africa use tobacco products, such as chewing tobacco and snuff, and 13% of young adolescent girls consume tobacco products. Tobacco usage among girls has been on the rise in recent years. Tobacco consumption among females was formerly lower than that of boys. In addition, between 2002 and 2030, tobacco-related mortality is expected to rise in low and middle-income countries (LMICs), such as Africa. Although cigarettes account for the majority of this increase, alternative tobacco products such as dokha and shisha, which are popular in Middle Eastern countries, also contribute to it. Raw tobacco leaves are majorly used in the production of these products. For instance, shisha is fruit-flavored tobacco smoked in a water pipe and is made by using shredded tobacco leaves, glycerol, and other ingredients. Dokha is a tobacco leaf, bark, herb, dried fruits and flowers, and spice blend that is smoked through a specialty pipe (midwakh) and has a far higher nicotine concentration than cigarettes. The rising popularity of shisha and dokha would significantly fuel the growth of the raw tobacco leaves market in the region.
