Which Factors Are Boosting Growth In The Nicotine Pouches Market?
The heightened recognition of substitute nicotine items is predicted to boost the expansion of the nicotine pouch market in the future. Substitute nicotine speaks to nicotine-infused products advertised as smokeless, less damaging, more purified, and safer options compared to conventional tobacco products. The product range encompasses e-cigarettes, heat-not-burn tobacco products, damp oral tobacco, nicotine pouches, and nicotine substitution treatments. Nicotine pouches are frequently promoted as a means to quit smoking or as a less detrimental substitute for those aiming to stop smoking. The realization of the harmful health effects of tobacco has sparked a surge in interest in products that can assist in cessation or reduction of tobacco use. As an illustration, a study by the US-based CDC Foundation in June 2023 reported that the sales of e-cigarettes amplified by 46.6% between January 2020 and December 2022, while the overall count of e-cigarette brands climbed 46.2%, elevating from 184 to 269. Thus, the burgeoning consciousness concerning substitute nicotine products is facilitating the growth of the nicotine pouch market.
