Competitive Landscape
Philip Morris Dominates a Highly Concentrated Reduced-Risk Nicotine Market
Smokeless tobacco, e-vapour products and heated tobacco in Slovenia remained highly concentrated in 2025, with Philip Morris Ljubljana doo holding a dominant 81% share of retail sticks volume. The company’s position was reinforced by the strength of the IQOS ecosystem and the ongoing transition from HEETS to TEREA consumables, which supported consumer retention and long-term engagement with heated tobacco products.
Device Ecosystems and Product Innovation Drive Competitive Differentiation
The leadership hierarchy remained broadly unchanged in 2025. Philip Morris continued to dominate heated tobacco, while JTI’s launch of the Ploom AURA device alongside EVO tobacco sticks marked a notable expansion of competition within the category without materially altering market leadership.
