Smokeless Tobacco Segmentation

Product Type (Nicotine Pouches, Chewing Tobacco, Snuff, Dissolvable Tobacco)

The nicotine pouches segment is expected to garner the highest share of 32.9% in the market by the end of 2037. The dominance of the segment is attributable to the global shift towards smokeless tobacco and a large consumer base. For instance, in 2024, the U.S. FDA reported that the approved products generated a substantial revenue of 5.3 billion in the U.S. Besides, in 2024 CDC states that nicotine pouches mitigate the complications associated with combustion and nitrosamines involved in smoking tobacco. Hence, this fuels the segment growth, thereby uplifting market demand.

Distribution Channel (Online Retail, Offline Retail)

The online retail segment is projected to account for a lucrative share of 45.6% in the market during the forecast period. The growth in the segment is subject to the worldwide preference for e-commerce, with the online sales growing at a 9.3% CAGR as reported by USITC 2024. Besides, the EU banned offline sales in five countries, which further accelerated a 62% sales increase in digital platforms. In this context, British American Tobacco gained an additional 20% revenue increment with these platforms. Hence, these factors are anticipated to augment the segment’s growth.
