Report Overview

The global heated tobacco products market size to be valued at USD 77.61 billion by 2025 and is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 52.56% during the forecast period.

Presence of low level of nicotine and chemicals Heat-Not-Burn (HNB) products is anticipated to further fuel the demand. HNB tobacco devices do not produce smoke and can be used multiple times. The health risks associated with cigarettes and chewing tobacco are anticipated to drive the adoption of Heated Tobacco Products (HTPs), especially by young population.

Heated Tobacco Products Market size, by product

The low risks and high demand is expected to encourage global manufacturers to invest in the market. Moreover, easy approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and equivalent regulatory bodies from Europe and Asia are anticipated to bode well for the growth of the market. For instance, in 2018, Philip Morris International Inc. received FDA approval for its heated tobacco products to be sold in the U.S. Rising bans on cigarettes and manufacturing unites across different countries along with awareness regarding the dangerous effects of tobacco consumption is driving the market growth. However, rising popularity of e-cigarettes is anticipated to hamper the market growth. These cigarettes are considered less harmful as they do not contain tobacco, which is anticipated to drive their demand, and in turn restrain the demand for HTPs to an extent.

Having said that, rising online sales and media campaigns by the global manufacturers are projected to drive product sales in the forthcoming years. For instance, campaigning of HTPs by the Philip Morris International Inc. in South Africa was done through TV programs.

Heated Tobacco Products Market Trends

The growing restriction on cigarettes and related products in several countries, as well as increasing awareness of the harmful side effects of tobacco smoking, is driving the expansion of this industry. For instance, as per the CDC, about 40 million adults in the U.S. smoke cigarettes, and approximately 2.55 million teenagers use at least one tobacco product, including e-cigarettes.

Furthermore, rising tobacco product demand and improved understanding of the usage of no-smoke cigarettes are propelling the industry. The increased marketing and promotion by companies are driving market demand. Additionally, rising expenditure on research & development activities is expected to present new opportunities for industry players. However, concerns about the regulatory measures and varied legislations, as well as the absence of scientific proof regarding the benefits of heated tobacco products, are projected to slow down the market expansion and act as a challenge for industry players.
