What is Cigarette Lighter?

A cigarette lighter is a small flame-producing device used to light a cigarette, cigar, and other tobacco product. It comprises cylindrical container, metal heating element, flame adjustment wheel, fuel reservoir, and ignition button. It is easy to carry and store in pocket, purse, and backpack. It is inexpensive, can be used multiple times, and is refillable. It is designed to work consistently and is reliable in variable conditions as compared to a matchbox, which can be affected by rain and wind. At present, cigarette lighters include safety features, such as a mechanism that prevents the lighter from accidentally being activated.

COVID-19 Impact:

The COVID-19 pandemic outbreak caused a severe problem for the cigarette lighter industry and imposed unprecedented challenges on numerous countries. It has also created a serious disturbance in the packaging sector and hampered the supply chains, which resulted in shortages and increments in the price of raw materials. Cigarettes are not considered essential consumer goods in most countries and, therefore, are not included in national planning to ensure supply to the public. Moreover, the reduced availability of raw materials and components for cigarette lighters, such as spark wheels, flintstones, and top caps, made of various metals, including aluminum, steel, and brass, due to trade disruptions hampered the growth of the market.

Cigarette Lighter Market Trends:

At present, the growing global population and rising number of smokers represent one of the key factors positively influencing the market across the globe. In addition, as the disposable incomes of individuals increase, consumers are spending money on tobacco products and accessories, including cigarette lighters, which is creating a favorable market outlook. Moreover, the increasing traction of cigarette lighters on account of the convenience of use, easy portability, and high reliability is strengthening the market growth. Apart from this, the expansion of the e-commerce sector and the easy availability of cigarette lighters through online and offline distribution channels are bolstering the growth of the market worldwide. Additionally, the flourishing travel and tourism (T&T) industry and easy access to duty-free shops at airports are offering lucrative growth opportunities to key market players operating worldwide. Furthermore, governments of various countries are implementing stringent regulations to ensure that the final products available to consumers are safe and will offer reliable performance. This, along with the introduction of battery-powered cigarette lighters, is bolstering the growth of the market. In addition, manufacturers are focusing on innovative designs of cigarette lighters, such as adding new features, colors, and materials to expand their portfolio and attract a wider consumer base. They are also introducing cigarette lighters with USB rechargeability options that use electricity to produce a small arc of ionized air that is capable of igniting cigarettes like flame, which is stimulating the growth of the market around the world.
