Steady Demand from Saudi Arabia's Increasing Smokers

With a growing number of adult smokers in Saudi Arabia, the cigarette lighter market benefits from consistent demand. About 17.8% of Saudi Arabia's population was using tobacco in 2022, according to the data, equating to around 4.8 million individuals. This enhanced demand in related markets, such as cigarette lighters, with 28.4 percent of men and 2.1 percent of women identifying as smokers. This large consumer base ensures ongoing sales of lighters, especially in convenience stores, tobacco shops, and gas stations near social smoking areas. Manufacturers focus on affordability and bulk distribution to cater to this segment, ensuring lighters remain a staple purchase. Therefore, this is also significantly supporting the Saudi Arabia cigarette lighter market growth. While health awareness is rising, the entrenched smoking culture continues to drive steady sales, making basic and disposable lighters a recession-resistant product in the Saudi market.
