Illicit Cigarettes Accounted for 45 per cent of Kenya's Market in 2025
A Kantar study commissioned by BAT Kenya found that 45 per cent of cigarettes sold in Kenya in 2025 were illicit.
The illegal trade cost the government an estimated Sh47 billion in lost excise duty and VAT revenue between 2021 and 2025.

Kenya has increased cigarette excise taxes, but the expected revenue gains have not followed.
A new Kantar study examining illicit cigarette trade in Kenya raises an important question.
What happens when tax rates rise but the tax base keeps shrinking?
🧵
The policy conversation therefore needs to go beyond how much tax is charged.
How effectively are products monitored across the supply chain? What happens at porous borders? How can enforcement reach informal distribution networks?
The Kantar study estimates that cumulative excise and VAT evasion between 2021 and 2025 reached KSh47 billion.
The underlying question is big. How does Kenya protect its tax base while addressing the growth of illicit trade?

A market can remain active even as the formal economy loses ground.

We examine the wider economic implications.

Kenya's illicit cigarette market accounted for 45.1% of the market in 2025.
Behind that figure are lost tax revenues, pressure on formal businesses, and declining employment contributions.

Businesses that pay taxes and comply with regulations are competing against operators who avoid those costs. What happens when the playing field is no longer level?
We examine the cost of competing against an untaxed economy in Kenya.
