Top Cigarette Manufacturing Companies in Bangladesh

Several well-known firms dominate the cigarette industry in Bangladesh, each of which produces a range of brands to meet the needs of various consumer demographics. Benson & Hedges and John Player Gold Leaf are just two of the international brands that British American Tobacco Bangladesh (BATB) offers. Popular brands including Akij and Sheikh are produced by the Akij Group, a significant corporation. The market is largely influenced by Dhaka Tobacco Industries (DTI), which produces products under the Red & White and Cavanders brands.

Another prominent participant is the Abul Khair Group, which produces well-known brands of cigarettes like Five Star and Cabin. Star cigarettes are made by Nasir Tobacco Industries, and Arise cigarettes are sold by Abdul Monem Limited. These businesses operate in a heavily regulated sector, which reflects government efforts to address smoking's negative health effects. Despite health warnings, there is still a demand for cigarettes, supporting the market positions of these manufacturing companies.
