2025 Developments
Nicotine in Bolivia in 2025 was characterised by an ongoing contraction in overall sticks volume, intensified by high inflation of 19% and low real GDP growth, leading to pronounced shifts in purchasing behaviour towards lower-priced and illicit products. Despite this decline, value is preserved due to rising prices and the rapid expansion of contraband brands such as Hills and Ten Twenty, which now represent a significant portion of domestic consumption. Cigarettes continue to account for the majority of usage, but their dominance is eroded by affordability pressures, while alternatives such as e-vapour products and nicotine pouches are gaining ground, particularly among younger, health-conscious consumers of legal smoking age seeking innovation and lower-risk experiences. For brands, the environment is challenging, with success hinging on agile adaptation—balancing portfolio innovation, targeted pricing and broad distribution networks to capture value-driven smokers and those seeking alternatives amid persistent economic and regulatory uncertainty.
