Competitive Landscape
Therapeutic Approvals and Black Market Reshape Brand Dominance
Smokeless tobacco, e-vapour products and heated tobacco in Australia became significantly more concentrated over the review period, primarily as a result of regulatory intervention and the polarisation between legal and illicit supply. The implementation of stricter Therapeutic Goods Administration standards from 1 July 2025 led to the withdrawal of a large number of previously available devices and e-liquids from legal channels, forcing the legal supply to consolidate among a limited number of compliant brands.
