In the past year, the import trend for cigarettes in the Gambia experienced a slight increase. This was primarily driven by a rise in demand for international cigarette brands in the market.

Cigarettes remain a significant product in Gambias tobacco industry. As smoking continues to be part of cultural habits, the cigarette market will remain a steady sector, despite growing health awareness campaigns.
The Gambia Cigarette Market is influenced by local demand, both from residents and the tourism industry. As disposable income increases and consumption habits evolve, there is a continued rise in cigarette sales in the country.
The cigarette market in Gambia is impacted by rising health awareness and government regulations aimed at reducing smoking. Restrictions on advertising, the increase in cigarette taxes, and the growing popularity of alternative products like e-cigarettes create a challenging environment for the traditional cigarette market. Additionally, smuggling and counterfeit cigarettes are prevalent, affecting the legal market.
The Gambia government regulates the cigarette market through policies aimed at reducing smoking rates and protecting public health. The government imposes taxes on tobacco products, supports anti-smoking campaigns, and enforces regulations around the sale and advertisement of cigarettes, particularly to minors.

Export potential enables firms to identify high-growth global markets with greater confidence by combining advanced trade intelligence with a structured quantitative methodology. The framework analyzes emerging demand trends and country-level import patterns while integrating macroeconomic and trade datasets such as GDP and population forecasts, bilateral import–export flows, tariff structures, elasticity differentials between developed and developing economies, geographic distance, and import demand projections. Using weighted trade values from 2020–2024 as the base period to project country-to-country export potential for 2030, these inputs are operationalized through calculated drivers such as gravity model parameters, tariff impact factors, and projected GDP per-capita growth. Through an analysis of hidden potentials, demand hotspots, and market conditions that are most favorable to success, this method enables firms to focus on target countries, maximize returns, and global expansion with data, backed by accuracy.
By factoring in the projected importer demand gap that is currently unmet and could be potential opportunity, it identifies the potential for the Exporter (Country) among 190 countries, against the general trade analysis, which identifies the biggest importer or exporter.
