The Global Light Cigarettes Market size is projected to grow at a CAGR of 5.5% from 2021-2028. Light cigarettes are considered as the healthier alternatives for smokers and hence these products have gained traction in recent years. The demand for light cigarettes will be primarily driven by male smokers due to the increasing awareness about health risks associated with tobacco smoking among women.

 

 

Light cigarettes are one of the most popular types of cigarettes, which have lower levels of tar and nicotine than regular ones. Their brand names usually include words like "gold" or "smooth." Light cigarettes are usually considered a healthier alternative to regular ones. They contain less harmful chemicals and more flavorings which make them appealing for smokers who want to switch from traditional cigarettes but don’t like their taste. This also makes light cigarettes an interesting option for those trying to quit smoking since they have been found effective in reducing nicotine addiction with time, especially when combined with other quitting solutions such as counseling or medications.

 

 

On the basis of Type, the global light cigarettes market is segmented into King Size, Above 100’S and Shorties.

 

 

King Size:

King Size Light Cigarettes are cigarettes manufactured with a higher quantity of tobacco than other sizes. They contain more puffs and provide a fuller flavor without any harshness. King size light cigarettes have around 16 mg tar rating, 0 to 14mg nicotine rating, and no carbon monoxide rating. King Size light cigarettes are the first choice for many smokers, especially those who have been smoking for a long time. King size is not only lighter than the regular one but also comes with better quality filters that make it easier to smoke. It has its own taste and smell.

 

 

Above 100’S:

Above 100’S light cigarettes are also known as Longs, 120's or 110s. They contain around 11mg of nicotine and have a length that is more than the usual 100mm. The Above 100’S light cigarettes are also known as king-size, which has a length of more than 11 centimeters. These cigarettes have a filter that is larger in diameter and longer when compared to other types of regular or full-flavor cigarette brands.

 

 

Shorties:

Shorties cigarettes are types of light cigarettes that have a shorter length than the regular King Size or 100's. ~~A few examples include Pall Mall Short Label, Imperial Tobacco Group PLC’s Davidoff Fine Selection Filter, and Japan Tobacco Incorporated’s Seven Star Slim Soft Regular. ~~The reason for their short size is to give smokers more satisfaction in less time when compared with traditional king-sized variants by creating larger smoke puffs with each inhalation thus slowing down smoking speed.

 

 

On the basis of Application, the global light cigarettes market is segmented into Male Smokers and Female Smokers.

 

 

Male Smokers:

Light cigarettes are made available for male smokers as they have a better taste and flavor. They provide the same amount of nicotine without any side effects, so it is a great alternative to smoking normal tobacco cigarettes. Light cigarettes are beneficial for male smokers. They contain the same ingredients as regular cigarettes but do not have any harmful effects like lung cancer, asthma, or other respiratory infections. This is why the demand for light cigarettes has substantially increased over the last few years.

 

 

Female Smokers:

The application of light cigarettes for female smokers is mainly to help them in quitting smoking. In most cases, women prefer using this type of cigarette because it has a lower level of nicotine and tar that helps with the withdrawal from their addiction. Moreover, these types are also cheap when compared with other options on the market. They are less harmful than regular cigarettes. Some studies show that smokers inhale more deeply when they smoke light cigarettes, which means it may be easier to quit smoking for women who choose this option because of its lower nicotine content and potentially reduced harm profile.

 

 

On the basis of Region, the global light cigarettes market is segmented into North America, Latin America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and Middle East & Africa. North America is expected to dominate the global light cigarettes market during the forecast period. The growth in this region can be attributed to the high prevalence of smoking among the male population owing to increasing disposable income along with changing lifestyles which have resulted in more people shifting towards healthier lifestyles including low-risk options such as switching from traditional cigarettes to alternative products like e-cigarettes or smokeless tobacco alternatives. Furthermore, initiatives taken by various bodies for reducing smoking especially in public places are also driving the demand for these products across North America. The Latin American light cigarettes market is expected to grow at a CAGR of around 20.00% during the forecast period, rise in demand for luxury consumer goods and increasing health awareness among consumers will be important factors driving growth. Light cigarettes have been popular in Europe for the past few decades. This is because people are aware of the health risks associated with cigarette smoking and they want to cut down on these risks as much as possible by using light cigarettes instead. In 2017, about half a billion smokers smoked light cigarettes in this region. The Asia Pacific region is projected to witness the highest growth rate in the coming years. The market for light cigarettes is high here due to increasing health consciousness among smokers and raising awareness about the ill effects of smoking on the human body. The light cigarettes market in the Middle East & Africa is expected to grow at a steady pace due to rising awareness about health risks associated with smoking.

 

 

Growth Factors For The Global Light Cigarettes Market:

Light cigarettes have gained immense popularity due to their low nicotine content and lesser health issues. Consumers prefer light cigarettes as they help them reduce harm by smoking less, especially in countries where cigarette prices are high which forces smokers to cut down on the number of sticks smoked per day. Therefore, an increase in demand from emerging economies such as China will drive the growth of the global light cigarettes market during 2018-2028.
