A smoking pipe (also known as a tobacco pipe) is used to inhale the smoke of a burning substance, which can also accommodate almost any other substance. Historically, smoking pipes were used in celebrations, with the tradition gradually gaining popularity over the years as an acceptable way to smoke tobacco. Flavored compounds sold in bulk could be tested directly on the premises in smoke rooms set up for clients. Further, tobacco pipe is loose-leaf tobacco grown in northern middle Tennessee, western Kentucky, and Virginia.

Market Drivers and Trends

Cigarettes and cigars have a higher smoking index than smoking pipes despite being consumed in moderation. Therefore, the health-conscious population addicted to cigarettes tends to incline towards much healthier choices, giving them utility at a comparatively lower level of tobacco consumption. The smoking pipe does the same by enhancing the utility and lowering tobacco consumption. Further, when it comes to smoking pipes' features, they are coated internally with flavors, or a customized supplementary solution is provided, which could be added to the tobacco to provide an enhanced experience to the consumer while smoking a pipe. Moreover, from the perspective of pipe manufacturers, to reduce the overall cost associated with the tobacco tax and advertisement restrictions of the product, manufacturers have come up with the solution of providing a pseudo tobacco experience with no health hazard strings attached, zero added cost to the manufacturer coupled with a constant flow of revenues through sustainable pseudo tobacco business. Thus, the rising health consciousness among the global citizens boosts the growth of the global smoking pipe market.

Market Restraints and Challenges

Strict rules imposed by federal governments of several nations regarding the smoking of tobacco products in public places might act as a restraining factor for the smoking pipe market. For instance, in December 2017, according to the article published by the GUARDIAN Newspapers, Rwanda imposed a ban on the importation and smoking of water-pipe tobacco. The ban is in line with World Health Organization (WHO) tobacco guidelines underlining smoking health effects such as damaging, addictive, and dangerous to human lives. Further, smoking pipes have several substitutes in the market, including cigarettes, cigars, e-cigarettes, and roll on your own. Smoking tobacco in a pipe is dangerous for the health as it can cause cancer, heart disease, lung disease, and gum & teeth problems.

Major Players in the Global Smoking Pipe Market COVID-19 Impact

In 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in economic challenges owing to subsequent lockdowns. In 2020, the manufacturing industry was severely affected due to a drastic decrease in product demand, falling prices, and storage shortages. A swift decline in manufacturing revenues due to virtually nonexistent manufacturing demand and slow production capabilities had limited the expenditure on the production of smoking pipes worldwide.
