What Are The Core Factors Supporting Growth In The Smokeless Tobacco Market?
Rising governmental enforcement of non-smoking policies is anticipated to spur the expansion of the smokeless tobacco industry in the future. Public health protection and smoking-related healthcare cost reductions serve as motivations for these strict governmental non-smoking rules. Such laws promote the use of smokeless tobacco as smokers pursue different nicotine sources in areas smoking is forbidden, boosting the demand for smokeless products. Moreover, these regulations heighten the awareness of the health hazards connected to smoking, persuading some people to turn to what they perceive to be safer alternatives. For example, a report released by the UK-based Office for National Statistics in September 2023 showed that the UK government's tobacco control scheme is set to reduce the adult smoking rate in England to 12% or less by 2022's end. In 2022, England reported the UK's lowest smoking prevalence at 12.7%, equivalent to about 5.3 million smokers, a decrease from 13.0% or approximately 5.4 million smokers in 2021. Thus, the escalating stringent application of non-smoking policies by the government is fuelling the growth of the smokeless tobacco industry.
