Snus Market to Reach USD 5.5 Billion by 2035, Growing at 5.4% CAGR

04-30-2025 11:16 PM CET | Food & Beverage

Press release from: FactMR

​The snus market is projected at USD 3.2 billion in 2025. Fact.MR projects the industry to grow at a CAGR of 5.4% and reach USD 5.5 billion by 2035. The trend is primarily driven by shifting consumer demand towards smoke-free products and increasing demand for hidden, harm-reduced nicotine products in Europe and North America. The increased popularity as a lower-risk alternative to cigarettes and broader regulatory acceptance in targeted non-traditional industries are revolutionizing consumption patterns.

The inconspicuousness of the product, absence of smoke, and lower health risks compared to combustible tobacco make it attractive both to existing smokers and new consumers seeking lower-risk nicotine delivery. Flavor innovation and variety in formats are also fueling the premiumization, particularly among young adult consumers.

Sweden is still ahead due to its mature user base and cultural acceptance, followed by the United States, which is witnessing faster growth due to raised awareness and regulatory clarity. The remainder of Europe is slowly adopting the industry, with growing advocacy propelling legislative relaxation. Challenges continue to remain in jurisdictions where snus is exposed to regulatory bans, most significantly within the European Union (beyond Sweden).

Key Market Drivers

Health Awareness and Harm Reduction
Increasing awareness of the health risks associated with smoking has led consumers to seek alternatives. Snus is perceived as a less harmful option due to its lower levels of nitrosamines and the absence of combustion, which reduces exposure to harmful chemicals found in cigarette smoke .​

Regulatory Approvals
Regulatory bodies have begun recognizing snus as a harm-reduction product. In 2019, Swedish Match AB received approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to market its General Snus as a safer alternative to smoking, marking a significant milestone in the product's acceptance .​

Product Innovation
Manufacturers are investing in product innovation to cater to evolving consumer preferences. The introduction of flavored snus, tobacco-free nicotine pouches, and improved packaging has enhanced product appeal. Flavored snus, particularly fruit and mint varieties, accounted for approximately 90% of the market in 2023, attracting younger demographics .​

Market Segmentation

By Product Type
Portion Snus: Pre-packaged in small pouches, offering convenience and hygiene. This segment dominated the market in 2023, accounting for over 83% of revenue
Loose Snus: Offers customization in portion size and strength. Although less popular than portion snus, it maintains a loyal consumer base seeking traditional experiences.​

By Flavor
Flavored Snus: Includes fruit, mint, and herbal flavors. The variety appeals to a broad consumer base, especially younger users.​
Unflavored Snus: Preferred by traditional users who favor the natural taste of tobacco.​

Regional Insights

Europe
Europe remains the largest market for snus, with Sweden and Norway leading due to cultural acceptance and supportive regulations. In 2023, Europe accounted for 62.1% of global revenue . However, the sale of snus is prohibited in most European Union countries, limiting market expansion within the region ​

North America
The North American market is growing, driven by increasing awareness and acceptance of smokeless tobacco products. In 2023, the market generated USD 730.1 million in revenue and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 6.1% through 2030 .​
Competitive Landscape

The snus market is consolidated, with a few key players dominating. Swedish Match AB, Altria Group, Inc., and British American Tobacco are among the leading companies. These firms focus on product innovation, strategic acquisitions, and expanding their presence in emerging markets.​

For instance, in 2019, Altria Group, Inc. acquired an 80% stake in Burger Söhne Holding AG for $372 million to enter the snus market and complement its existing oral tobacco portfolio .​

Emerging Trends

Tobacco-Free Nicotine Pouches
The development of tobacco-free nicotine pouches caters to health-conscious consumers seeking alternatives without tobacco. These products offer various flavors and strengths, expanding the market reach .​

Sustainability
Environmental concerns are influencing consumer choices, prompting manufacturers to adopt sustainable practices in sourcing, production, and packaging. Brands emphasizing eco-friendly initiatives are likely to gain a competitive advantage .​

Technological Advancements
Innovations in nicotine delivery systems, such as extended-release technologies, and smart packaging with QR codes providing product information, are enhancing user experience and product transparency .​

Challenges

Regulatory Restrictions

Stringent regulations in certain regions, particularly within the European Union, where snus sales are banned outside Sweden, pose significant challenges to market expansion .

Public Perception

Despite being marketed as a less harmful alternative, snus still faces public health concerns and negative perceptions associated with tobacco products, potentially hindering its adoption.​

Manufacturers focusing on sustainability, technological advancements, and meeting diverse consumer preferences are likely to succeed in this evolving landscape. However, navigating regulatory challenges and addressing public health concerns will remain critical for sustained growth.
