Nicotine Pouches Market Growth & Trends:
The global nicotine pouches market size is estimated to reach USD 22.84 billion in 2030 and is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 34.0% over the forecast period, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The surge in the consumption of nicotine products has led to a significant shift in the market dynamics, driving the demand for nicotine pouches. Several factors contribute to this trend. Firstly, the evolving perception of nicotine consumption, particularly among younger demographics, has driven the demand for alternative, convenient, and discreet delivery methods. Nicotine pouches offer a smoke-free, odorless, and socially acceptable way to satisfy nicotine cravings, appealing to individuals seeking a less conspicuous form of consumption.
Furthermore, increased health consciousness and regulatory measures surrounding traditional tobacco products have steered consumers toward safer alternatives. Nicotine pouches, devoid of tobacco and combustion-related toxins, present a perceived reduced risk compared to conventional smoking methods. As health concerns continue to drive lifestyle choices, the market for nicotine pouches stands to benefit from this growing preference for harm reduction. Apart from this, growing consumer awareness about the risks associated with smoking has compelled many smokers to switch to nicotine pouches.
The tobacco-derived nicotine pouches held the higher share of the market in 2023 and is expected to register a considerable CAGR over the forecast period. Nicotine pouches are marketed as a safer alternative to smoking, as they do not involve combustion, which produces harmful tar and chemicals. In addition, increasing awareness about the health risks associated with smoking and tobacco use is pushing consumers towards less harmful alternatives like nicotine pouches. Many users enjoy the satisfaction of nicotine but also understand the negative health consequences of using chewing tobacco, including oral cancer. This is why chewing tobacco alternatives, like Fully Loaded Chew and Smokey Mountain, have increased in popularity in recent years.
Extra strong nicotine pouches held a high share of the market. These products have a nicotine content more than 8 mg per pouch, they are therefore reserved for informed users or people who have significant needs for nicotine during their smoking cessation. People often purchase extra strong (more than 8 mg/pouch) nicotine pouches for reasons like nicotine dependence, where individuals reliant on nicotine may seek higher concentrations to manage cravings effectively. Long-term users may develop tolerance, necessitating stronger pouches to achieve desired effects.
North America accounted for the largest share of the market and is estimated to grow at a significant CAGR over the forecast period. Government regulatory bodies in North America are taking several initiatives to encourage smokers to quit tobacco products. Their supportive measures for tobacco-free products in the U.S. will likely support the adoption of oral tobacco-free products like nicotine pouches and gums. For instance, in October 2021, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced approval for the marketing of the four latest oral tobacco products manufactured by U.S. Smokeless Tobacco Company LLC under the brand name Verve.
Various steps are adopted by major global companies including global expansion, partnerships, acquisitions & mergers, development & launch of new products, and others to gain more share of the market.
