#21 In EuropeRevenue in the Tobacco Retailers in Europe industry is expected to contract at a compound annual rate of 3% to €36.4 billion over the five years through 2024. Rising public awareness of the health risks of smoking, driven by intense anti-smoking campaigns by the government, has caused smoking rates and sales to plummet for tobacco retailers. Strong legislation among Western Europe has hit sales hard, while stiff competition from supermarkets and convenience stores has shifted revenue away from specialist tobacco retailers.
