The UK nicotine pouches market size was estimated at USD 247.6 million in 2024 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 7.6% from 2025 to 2030. The market is experiencing growth due to increasing demand for smoke-free alternatives among health-conscious consumers. The rising popularity of these products over traditional smoking is driven by their convenience and perceived health benefits. Rising innovation in flavors is also expected to contribute to the market's expansion.
The increase in the consumption of nicotine products has been a significant driver of the UK market's growth. As consumers become more aware of the harmful effects of smoking, many are turning to alternative products, such as nicotine pouches, which provide a similar experience without the risks associated with the use of tobacco.
According to research conducted by the Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology & Neuroscience (IoPPN) at King's College London in collaboration with Action on Smoking and Health (ASH), the proportion of adults in Great Britain who have used nicotine pouches has doubled from 2020 to 2024, reaching 5.4%. This indicates a growing shift toward these alternatives, with health-conscious consumers seeking a cleaner and more discreet way to consume nicotine.
A key factor driving the growth of the market is its convenience and ease of use. Unlike smoking, which requires a lighter to light a cigarette and can be impractical in public, nicotine pouches are discreet and do not need accessories. This appeals to younger adults and busy professionals with on-the-go lifestyles. In addition, the smokeless features makes nicotine pouches the preferred alternative in areas where smoking is banned. An article in H&N Magazine (2024) reports a 289% increase in nicotine pouch sales in the UK, attributing the surge to their discreet nature, emitting no smoke, vapor, or odor, unlike vapes. The article also highlights their convenience, as nicotine pouches are portable, compact, and require no maintenance, unlike vapes that need charging or refilling.
