Overview of Leading Nicotine Pouch Brands at EVO NXT Exhibition
EVO NXT hosted a forum on EU nicotine pouch market analysis, featuring NNPA.EU CEO Jonas Lundqvist. Over 90 brands identified.

The organizers of the Spanish tobacco expo EVO NXT held a forum at the event focused on the analysis of the EU nicotine pouch market. During the forum, Jonas Lundqvist, CEO of the Northern European Nicotine Pouches Alliance (NNPA.EU), shared insights on the EU nicotine pouch market.

 

According to Jonas, there are over 90 nicotine pouch brands in the EU's 27 countries, with physical retail accounting for 68% and online retail accounting for 32%. This includes both brick-and-mortar stores and online platforms. There are over 100,000 total sales points for nicotine pouches, including 104,000 physical retail points and 90 online retail points.

 

The manufacturing of nicotine pouches is mainly concentrated in countries such as Sweden, Poland, Italy, and Czech Republic. Despite the currently undeveloped market not showing high activity, due to high smoking rates and large populations, it is expected that these regions will become important markets for nicotine pouches in the future.

 

2FIRSTS surveyed the brands that introduced nicotine pouch products at the EVO NXT exhibition.

China's Ministry of Finance and State Taxation Administration announced on October 12, 2026, that value-added tax (VAT) export rebates for vape devices, nicotine and its salts, and certain non-combustible inhalation products will be eliminated from April 1, 2027. The measure adds four tobacco- and nicotine-related customs codes, including 8543400010, which covers vape devices and qualifying empty pods. China previously eliminated rebates for nicotine-containing vaping products and devices under code 8543400090 in April 2026. According to industry classification information held by 2Firsts, the latter currently corresponds to heated tobacco devices. Export excise tax refund and exemption arrangements will remain unchanged.

Canada Considers Easing Pharmacy-Only Nicotine Pouch Sales Rules, Potentially Reopening Convenience Store Channel
Canada Considers Easing Pharmacy-Only Nicotine Pouch Sales Rules, Potentially Reopening Convenience Store Channel
Canada's federal government is considering changes to current restrictions on where nicotine pouches can be sold, potentially allowing authorized products to return to convenience stores and other general retail channels, although no decision has been made. Since 2024, emerging nicotine replacement therapy products such as nicotine pouches have been largely restricted to behind-the-counter pharmacy sales. Health Canada, meanwhile, continues to recall unauthorized and higher-strength nicotine pouches, indicating that the current discussion concerns retail access for authorized products rather than a broad relaxation of nicotine pouch regulation.
