Tobacco in El Salvador

Volume sales of cigarettes grew in 2023 despite the decline in smoking prevalence. Much of this stemmed from a reduction in smuggling via gangs and wider distribution of legitimate brands. However, despite a strong reduction in contraband, illegal cigarettes remain appealing due to the significant price gap with legal brands. Declining consumer purchasing power also exerted pressure on demand, stimulating downtrading to less expensive alternatives such as mid-priced and economy brands.
