KEY DATA FINDINGS

Sales of smokeless tobacco, e-vapour products and heated tobacco speed up, with disparate results
Significant impetus provided by closed system single use and nicotine pouches
Brands present in tobacconists and e-commerce score points, more than in specialist outlets
Contradictory signals for the future of smokeless tobacco, e-vapour products and heated tobacco
Who will win between specialist stores and e-commerce?
The clock is ticking for heated tobacco and puffs, but not for nicotine pouches at first sight
