Growth Drivers in the Clove Cigarettes Market
Increasing Demand for Flavored Tobacco Products: An emerging trend among consumers, especially among young adults, shows an increasing interest in flavored tobacco products. Clove cigarettes, with their captivating mix of perfumey spices and unmistakably sweet flavor, provide a distinctive sensory experience that differentiates them from regular cigarettes. This wonderful blend of taste becomes an appealing option, weaving a spell over consumers that want more than the rest. As a consequence, clove cigarettes are experiencing a strong demand, primarily in Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and parts of Europe, where an interest in a unique smoking experience is fueling this trend. February 2024, Kretek International launched the nicotine-free Djarum Bliss clove smokes in 2 flavors to capture the U.S. and Canada market by the end of 2024.
Cultural and Traditional Influence in Indonesia: Indonesia, celebrated as the place of origin of kretek cigarettes, boasts the title of being the biggest consumer and manufacturer of these unique clove-filled smokes. The cultural predisposition of kreteks runs deep, embedded in the daily routine and social interaction of people, creating strong domestic demand that does not waver. Such cultural relevance not only adds rich living to the people in the country but also creates precious export opportunity to Indonesian communities dispersed all over the world where the taste of home still lingers. November 2023, Hertz Flavors marked its first anniversary in Indonesia with the launch of a USD 5 million Mojokerto factory that makes ISO-certified flavors like apple and mango with a sustainability thrust towards serving the country’s tobacco market.
Greater Access in Emerging Economies: With distribution chains expanding and package forms ever more innovative, clove cigarettes are fast becoming more accessible products in developing economies. The accelerating rate of urbanization, along with an increase in disposable income, is driving a growing demand for these products. Furthermore, the young curiosity about Western-style and fusion smoking experiences is generating a dynamic new market that bypasses traditional geography, a dramatic change in consumer trend. In February 2024, Kretek International launched the nicotine-free Djarum Bliss clove smokes in two flavors and intends to dominate the U.S. and Canada market by the close of 2024.
