We help the tobacco industry safely and successfully launch heat-not-burn (HnB) solutions by providing expert services and high-quality components.
Welcome to a smoke free world!
The cigarette market is experiencing steady attrition, with an estimated CAGR 2016–2020 of around -4%.
Heated tobacco products (HTPs) are one of the most promising smoking alternatives, with an estimated CAGR 2016–2020 of around 100%. In some countries, the end-2020 HTP market share was above 10%.
The EU transfer rate between 2016 and 2020 was +35%. For every 100 cigarettes lost, HTP sales grew by 35 sticks.
Our team has carried out a full study, gathering together its expertise in a white paper.
“We look at the key components of HTP products and explain why an ‘ecosystem’ (heating device + consumable) approach is central to success. The report introduces a number of considerations that newcomers to this arena should keep in mind if they want to build a successful business case, from initial choices about the heating device or system, consumable (stick-like or other format), and blend to decisions about branding and prior art.”
