Growth in NRT smoking cessation aids in the United Arab Emirates remains robust compared to the broader Middle East and Africa, with value increasing by 4% to AED34 million in 2026, despite a challenging economic backdrop marked by inflation and regional instability. The market continues to demonstrate strong potential, driven by the mainstream entry of synthetic nicotine pouches, expanded public health initiatives, and rising consumer expenditure, yet is characterised by intensifying competition and evolving purchasing behaviours as new formats and retail channels gain traction. To capitalise on these dynamics, successful strategies require brands to prioritise product trust and certification, leverage pharmacy-led e-commerce, and differentiate through innovation, while addressing polarised demand and maintaining price competitiveness to appeal to both value-driven and health-conscious consumers.
