    CIS market is one of key markets for heated tobacco products due to huge number of active users and favourable conditions for those engaged in manufacturing, distribution and retail of such kind of products. At present, the heated sticks are represented by 25 brands (from 14 manufacturers) within the CIS countries. The majority of heated sticks sold in the CIS region is manufactured and distributed by Big Tobacco companies. Some of these companies have production facilities within the CIS countries.

    The shadow market is rather expanded within the CIS region, though there some countries without illicit segment as well as countries where heated sticks are not officially marketed. Based on price analysis, we differentiated the countries with the highest and lowest prices for heated sticks separately in official and illicit markets. The prices for heated sticks are significantly lower in the countries where brands were officially launched as prices in the illicit market are set based on end-consumer demand and supply by illegal traders. Based on analysis of market competitiveness vs. price policy, the most favourable markets for the release of new brands of heated sticks were also determined.

  • Cannabis Heat-Not-Burn Products: Technical Analysis of Vaporization Technologies for Cannabis Heated Sticks

    $0.00

    The report includes complete technical analysis of all existent to the date of the report mass-market products:

    • 3 models of heat-not-burn type of electronic devices for vaporization of cannabis heat sticks;
    • 2 brands of heated cannabis sticks.

    Aim of the report is to examine existent heating solutions for cannabis heated sticks, answer the question are they the copy-cats of existent tobacco heat-not-burn devices or use their own technology solution.

    In this report, we provide complete data about technical parameters, and results of professional tests of cannabis-related e-devices, review the internal structure of cannabis heated sticks.

    In the result of analysis, we had a complete technical view on all current aspects of cannabis heat-not-burn technology development. During the cannabis e-devices teardown were found technological innovation earlier never met in conventional tobacco heat-not-burn industry.

    Classic heat-not-burn industry driven by big tobacco giants has a lot of developments and real products like IQOS and Heets, glo and Neosticks and so on. Using the successful format of heated products like Heets, certain cannabis companies in USA and Canada launched their own heat-not-burn products in cannabis vaporizers industry. Well known, that vaporization temperature of tobacco material and cannabis or hemp differs in temperature and heating curve.

    Thus, range of temperature for tobacco heated material in existent tobacco heated products is 240-350 °C, meanwhile for regular dry herb cannabis flower recommended temperatures for vaporization is 160-180°C (CBD activation), and near 157°C for THC activation. The recommended temperature for isolating cannabinoids imposes certain technological restrictions to design of vaporization technologies for cannabis heated sticks, as well as for conventional dry herb cannabis vaporizers.

  • Tobacco-Free Nicotine Pouches (Snus): Complete European Market Analysis Report

    $0.00
    The report includes a detailed EU market analysis and defines all the tobacco-free brands of nicotine pouches, also known as nicotine snus or nicopods. The analysis of tobacco-free nicotine pouches includes 46 brands marketed in the EU and, in particular, 327 products were studied that varied in flavor, nicotine strength, portion weight, average price. With the launch of 27 new brands of nicotine pouches from the beginning of 2020 year, the competition is getting fiercer.

    Numerous limitations and restrictions are in place throughout the EU on the sale of oral tobacco products, the non-tobacco nicotine pouches brands have emerged as a popular alternative to tobacco-based portion pouch products. Niconovum AB was the first in the world to develop a smokeless nicotine-containing sachet, thus a new category of modern oral products emerged. These products come in the form of white in colour nicotine pouches that are placed under the lip. The idea of a new product was implemented in many European markets, and nicopods gained particular popularity in Sweden and Denmark.
    The large tobacco manufacturers (BAT, JTI, Altria Group and Imperial Brands) appear to be adopting tobacco-free nicotine pouches as a focus of corporate harm reduction strategies, and accordingly, given the opportunity to switch existing smokers from cigarettes to oral products at profitable margins.

    The shift in the trend of global consumption of nicotine products away from traditional flammable cigarettes is accelerating. In a few years, the category has featured hundreds of products with different tastes and nicotine content. By the end of 2019, the non-tobacco snus subcategory accounted for approximately 8.26% in volume terms of all snus.

    With the launch of 27 new brands of nicotine pouches in 2020, the competition is getting fiercer. Companies are trying to position their brands as premium quality or environmentally responsible. Nevertheless, the companies continue to increase production volumes. In September 2020, BAT built a nicotine pouch factory in Hungary to boost production to more than 1 billion nicotine pouches in 2020 and a figure that is expected to triple next year.

    At the same time, many private companies offer white label services (Nord Snus ApS, Alchem Europe SA, Enorama Pharma AB, Ministry of Snus A/S, TCF Group, Twinroll Service AB). The raised demand on nicotine pouches in 2020 was triggered by the ban on flavoured tobacco products in the EU and it continues to grow, as well as this category continues to evolve, demanding improvement and variety. The level of innovation in this segment is likely to increase in the short to mid-term with old and new companies coming up with new products and solutions.
