Tobacco in Oman in 2023 is expected to grow gradually due to a slight population increase and moderate inflation at 1%. The Consumer Price Index for tobacco was also higher than in the past five years in July 2023.
Tobacco use in Oman has shown fluctuating trends over the years. According to the World Health Organisation, smoking prevalence increased from 8% in 2000 to 12% in 2015, with a projected rise to 13% by 2025.
Oman has a diverse population, shaped by its history of sea trade and travel, excluding expatriate workers. This rich cultural blend has influenced various aspects of Omani life, including smoking habits.
Premium brands of cigarettes and cigars are usually purchased in Muscat in specific specialist stores by high-income locals and foreigners.
Oman is a country blessed with a very modern road infrastructure and most of the country’s population is concentrated in the coastal corridor between the northern Governorate of Musandam and Muscat, with one-third of the country’s population residing in the Muscat Governorate. As a result, the distribution of tobacco is fairly smooth, despite the large majority of Oman’s territory being covered in desert.
