Smoking Accessories Market Size - By Product Type, By Price, By End-User, By Distribution Channel, Analysis, Share, Growth Forecast, 2026 - 2035

Based on product type, the smoking accessories industry is segmented into cigarette cases & storage containers, pipes, bubbler & bongs, rolling paper & wraps, lighters, smoking filter & paper tip, ashtrays, vapes & vaporizers, herb grinders, others. The lighters segment accounts for revenue of around USD 3.5 billion in the year 2025 and is expected to reach USD 6.8 billion by 2035.
 

• The lighter category continues to witness growth through 2025 due to changes in consumer preferences and local governments encouraging smokers to switch to smoke-free products in order to decrease the harmful effects of smoking on their populations. The increased availability of smoke-free products has been a driving force behind the popularity of lighters among consumers.
   
• In addition to governments promoting smokeless alternatives, manufacturers have helped to propel this trend by creating new and innovative products. Companies such as Zippo and BIC have recently released new technology-enhanced lighters that provide features such as windproof flame capabilities and rechargeable batteries. These two new product developments cater to the demand for convenience and sustainability that tech-savvy consumers are looking for, thus driving the growth of the lighter industry.
   
• Another contributing factor to this overall shift away from smoking is the increased knowledge regarding the dangers associated with traditional cigarette use. Data from the Center for Disease Control (CDC) indicates that during the past two years, smokeless product adoption - including lighter products - has risen by a greater than 15% increase from two years ago, thereby demonstrating a trend of increasing preferences for healthier choices among consumers.
   
• In addition, lighters are well received by urban customers because they are portable and can fit easily into a pocket, which helps to drive demand. Tesla Coil Lighters has capitalized on this growing market by offering a sleek contemporary lighter line.
   
• Accordingly, the lighter category has experienced rapid growth in response to new regulations, advancements in technology, and changing consumer habits, including an increase in popularity due to regulatory and technological developments. Thus, it is expected that lighters will continue to be the most significant contributor to the development of smokeless alternatives through 2026.

For example, Swedish Match has significantly expanded their product offerings in the smokeless segment to include male-focused smokeless tobacco products such as snus and tobacco pouches.
   
• In addition, e-cigarettes and vaping devices have become extremely popular with men. Approximately 60% of global e-cigarette users are men, and many companies such as JUUL Labs and Vuse have developed and launched unique products tailored to the interests of male consumers, ultimately helping to fuel further growth in the male segment of this industry.
   
• Marketing strategies aimed at male customers continue to have a strong effect on market trends, marketing campaigns by Philip Morris International are targeting masculinity and tradition through culture, making a strong impression on male customers and increasing product brand visibility.

• The offline segment continues to dominate the market, a trend expected to persist through 2025. According to a U.S. Census Bureau report 2023, over 70% of retail sales took place through offline channels. This dominance is attributed to their extensive reach and accessibility, particularly in densely populated regions. Walmart, for example, has expanded its retail footprint throughout major cities and has successfully provided consumers with increased access to purchasing options.
   
• The offline segment also receives support from government developments and programs to assist local/independent offline retailers. In India, the Ministry of Commerce launched several programs to modernize traditional or existing small retail stores and improve their competitiveness. Moreover, exclusivity is regularly used as a tool for marketing and driving traffic to offline retail stores.
   
• Target has created a loyalty rewards program, which gives consumers a discount if they make purchases at Target stores. Manufacturers take advantage of offline channels to increase the number of times they engage with the consumer. Procter & Gamble, for instance, also provides visibility and a point of purchase for its products through product placements and in-store promotions.
   
• Offline retail channels continue to adapt to the evolving demands of consumers and changes in government policy, and their ability to be used as a method of marketing and selling products will continue to remain strong through the forecast period.
