Key Driver and Trend Analysis

Driver: Upsurge in Working Population

A huge demand for nicotine products comes from people falling in the 15-64 years age brackets. This is because this range of demographics consists of people with diversified tastes, high purchasing power and exclusive preferences. As the lifestyles are centered around work and offices, stress and anxiety levels are growing among working individuals, which leads to growing consumption of stress relieving agents such as nicotine. Moreover, various nicotine products such as vaping products and moist snuff tobacco can be used indoors as these do not do not produce tar or carbon monoxide, two of the most harmful elements in tobacco smoke. Thus, an upsurge in working population indicates increase in demand for nicotine products, which in turn, provided a boost to the overall market growth.

Trend: Rising Popularity of Tobacco Free Oral Nicotine

A novel class of oral nicotine pouches that contain a nicotine powder instead of tobacco leaves has recently emerged; these pouches often contain non-tobacco flavors (e.g., fruit) with known appeal to youth. These products have become popular among youth after e-cigarette. A survey of more than 3,500 high school students in Southern California found that flavored chewing gum, lozenges, gummies and other oral products that contain nicotine but not tobacco were the second most popular nicotine items among adolescents, after e-cigarettes. In addition to gummies and lozenges, the oral products included tablets and nicotine pouches (small bags of powder placed under the lip.) The products come in flavors like cherry, fruit medley, and pomegranate, and are labeled "tobacco-free." But they aren't approved or advertised as alternatives to help people quit smoking. The popularity of oral tobacco free nicotine gummies and lozenges is expected to sustain during projected years thus, maintaining a stable demand in the coming years.
