DUBLIN, March 5, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- The "Heat not Burn Tobacco Market - Global Outlook and Forecast 2020-2025" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

The Global Heat-not-Burn (HnB) Tobacco Market is expected to grow at a CAGR of >22% during 2019-2025.

The heat not burn tobacco market is growing at a tremendous rate due to an increase in the popularity of HnB products and devices in the US, Japan, and South Korea.

Heat not Burn Tobacco Market: Segmentation

This research report includes a detailed segmentation by products, distribution, and geography.

HnB tobacco devices are emerging as the best alternative for tobacco. They have become popular with consumers since they are easy to use, safe, and adequately mimic the experience of smoking. Innovation and competition have produced a new generation of HnB products that are changing the tobacco landscape. The industry is growing rapidly in Europe, especially in the UK, Italy, Poland, and France. The HnB tobacco market will double in Western Europe during the forecast period. Although the share of HnB products is minuscule when compared to cigarettes, they are expected to grow. The HnB consumables market is expected to grow at a CAGR of over 20%. The demand for capsules and cartridges is growing with the increasing purchase of HnB devices.

The sale of HnB products takes place via two major distribution channels - retail and online. The majority of the revenue comes from retail distribution channels such as convenience stores, tobacco shops, grocery shops, drug stores, and supermarkets. The distribution environment is rapidly evolving with systems, and processes are being upgraded at a rapid pace. Changes are being spurred by expanding competition, accelerating digitization, constant disintermediation, and consumerization of expectations.

As the heat not burn tobacco market is highly consumer-centric, distributors are increasingly focusing on extending their reach to vape stores and local outlets. The online sale contributed over a 6% share of the overall revenue to the global market in 2019, propelled in large by the demand from retailers, dealers, and consumers for a multi-channel approach and support. HnB products are also sold majorly through vendor websites and online retailers. A lot of offline distributors are moving the sale process online by incorporating e-commerce solutions and enterprise resource planning systems.

Insights by Geography

The US vapor product market is growing consistently after the authorization of HnB products sale by the FDA within the country. This will help North America to increase its shares as smokers in the US to become health conscious. One of the major influencing factors propelling the growth in the region is the increasing availability of HnB products in retail shops and over the internet. The popularity of heat not burn products has been fostered due to the easy availability of vapor products in the market. With retailers stocking vape products, they are increasingly witnessing a surge in their popularity in the region.

APAC remains to be looked upon as the largest potential market for HnB products during the forecast period. Advances in lifestyle coupled with rising consumer expenditure are likely to increase the consumption of HnB vapor products in APAC during the forecast period. However, the region faces several challenges such as proposals to regulate vapor products, impose high taxes, and ban vapor products in the region. Besides, an increase in counterfeit products and unregulated manufacturing processes are hindering the growth of the APAC market.

One of the major reasons behind the high adoption of HnB products among Europeans is an increase in the per capita disposable income of end-consumers. An improving economy in many European countries has increased disposable income in Europe. Another major reason for the growth in the European region is the favorable retail environment. The retail environment in Western European countries is known to be characterized by heavy discounting. Besides, end-users in these countries are known to have a high annual saving ratio.

Brazil has banned the usage and consumption of tobacco in the country and has imposed taxes on cigarettes. Despite the recent increase in taxes on cigarettes in Brazil, cigarettes are still sold at lower prices than cigarettes in Argentina, Peru, Suriname, and Uruguay, so Brazil has great potential further for the companies to penetrate the market.

Insights by Vendors

The acceptance rate of HnB products among smokers worldwide has been impressive. The heat not burn tobacco market has witnessed the entry of several new vendors. The competition among these companies has increased, leading to the introduction of several innovative and advanced products. These players compete on several factors, such as price, availability, brand, and safety. However, the price is set to become a major base for the competition among players to gain a competitive edge. Further, the growth of vendors depends on its condition, GDP growth, and industry development. High capital requirements and rapid advances in technology are major entry barriers for new players.
