Today, as the market demands become more and more diversified, the global tobacco industry pays more attention to products with innovative designs. Under the new situation, manufacturers are constantly looking for new opportunities, boldly trying new filter materials, turning filter innovation into market competitiveness, and then promoting the innovation and development of the entire tobacco industry.
The appearance of the filter tip is a progress in the cigarette production technology, which plays a role in reducing tar and harm. At present, under the general trend of declining sales of traditional cigarettes and increasing sales of new tobacco products, filter manufacturers are also looking for more business opportunities in new market segments.
With the help of filters, tobacco products can realize the uniqueness of their own taste. Although the consumer demand for filters varies from country to country, the future development trend should be the research and development of fine or ultra-thin filters. In Africa and the Middle East, filters made from acetate tow still dominate the market, but over the past four years, ultra-fine filters have shown a strong growth trend. In other countries, tubular segmented filters and premium multi-segment filters are gaining market share in response to changing consumer preferences.
The increased demand for ultra-slim filters means that slim cigarettes will be further developed. Ultra-slim filter cigarettes can not only reduce tar and reduce harm, but also meet consumption needs. At the same time, because the thin filter requires less materials, it also reduces the cost for cigarette manufacturers. This supports the drive towards sustainable and environmentally friendly products - an issue that is becoming increasingly important to the tobacco industry.
