Which Drivers Are Accelerating Growth In The Snus Market?
The rising appeal for smokeless tobacco products is anticipated to drive the expansion of the snus market in the future. Smokeless tobacco includes tobacco items that provide nicotine and other chemicals without requiring combustion, thereby eliminating smoke inhalation. This surge in the demand is as a result of stricter smoking laws, widely perceived as a healthier substitute for smoking, successful marketing strategies, constant product enhancements, and cultural approval in certain parts of the world. Snus, a type of smokeless tobacco, is used by placing it between the upper gum and lip where it dissolves and releases nicotine and flavor into the bloodstream via the oral mucosa, eliminating the need for smoking or chewing. For example, in May 2024, as per the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, a US government agency, about 2 of every 100 individuals aged 18 and above (2.1%), equivalent to 5.2 million adults, reported using smokeless tobacco products. Therefore, the rising demand for smokeless tobacco is fueling the expansion of the snus market.
