In recent years, Cyprus has seen a dramatic increase in the popularity of nicotine pouches, just like in many other countries around the world.
This growing trend is driven by many different factors, one of which is a shift in consumer behavior away from tobacco and smoking products in a desire to use less harmful nicotine products.
Nicotine pouches, being smoke-free and tobacco-free, have been at the forefront of this transition as consumer behavior is changing.
For businesses in Cyprus, this growing demand presents a lucrative opportunity to expand product offerings and cater to a new segment of health-conscious customers. Whether you own an existing store or plan to start a new business, selling nicotine pouches can be an appealing business opportunity to meet the rapidly growing demand for this product.
The first step in getting started in the nicotine pouch industry is of course to find a trusted and reliable wholesale distributor. This is where Swenico comes in.
Swenico is a leading B2B supplier of tobacco-free nicotine pouches, based in Stockholm, Sweden. With years of experience in the industry and a proven track record of serving businesses all around the world – including Cyprus – we are ready to be your go-to partner.
The Nicotine Pouch Market in Cyprus
Just like in many other parts of the world – especially Europe – the nicotine pouch market has grown substantially in the last couple of years. Nicotine pouches have only been around since around 2015 and have grown exponentially in popularity over the years. As the consumer behavior around tobacco is changing, there is a growing demand for alternative, less harmful, smoke-free alternatives.
Nicotine pouches are one of those alternatives that have been at the forefront of this transition as more and more consumers discover the many benefits they offer.
First and foremost, a growing number of governments around the world are taking a harm-reduction approach to smoking with the purpose of reducing the rate of smokers. This has led to push towards smoke-free and tobacco-free alternatives whereas smoking becomes increasingly expensive and inconvenient.
Most importantly, consumers are increasingly understanding the detrimental health consequences and are looking to transition to less harmful alternative. As a both smoke-free and tobacco-free alternative that is discreet, convenient, and practical, nicotine pouches have rapidly grown in popularity in Cyprus and around the world.
Convenient and practical
Nicotine pouches are extremely convenient and practical to use compared to many other tobacco and nicotine alternatives. You don’t have to go out in the rain or shine every time you need a nicotine fix. You can simply place a pouch under the upper lip and go about with your day. This avoids disruptions and saves both time and trouble.
Moreover, there are many situations where it is just not possible to use some products, particularly smoking and vaping. This includes, for example, airplanes, public transportation, or in offices. Nicotine pouches solve this issue as you can use them anytime and anywhere. Best of all is that no one even has to know you are using them, making them extremely convenient.
Growth Potential in the Cypriot Market
The nicotine pouch market in Cyprus is still in its early stages, but it is growing rapidly. Nicotine pouches are a product development of traditional Swedish tobacco snus and have therefore grown rapidly in popularity in Sweden and surrounding Scandinavian countries.
That said, their popularity is expanding quickly to now the rest of Europe as well as other parts of the world including North America, the Middle East, and beyond.
Since nicotine pouches are still relatively new in Cyprus yet still see dramatic growth, it presents a unique opportunity for businesses to enter the market at a time when demand is on the rise but competition is still limited. It is therefore a great opportunity for businesses to tap into this market early on to establish themselves as a go-to place for nicotine pouches in Cyprus.
The rate of smokers is decreasing in Cyprus but is still higher than in many other countries in Europe. Whilst nicotine pouches are not approved as smoking cessation aids and therefore not allowed to be promoted as such, many smokers have reported that they have been tremendously helpful in quitting smoking. That said, as the trend for quitting smoking grows, more smokers will likely turn to nicotine pouches in Cyprus as an aid to help them quit.
Opportunities for Cypriot Businesses
With the rapidly growing demand for nicotine pouches in Cyprus, there are plenty of opportunities for businesses to tap into this market in many different ways.
Whether you own an existing business or plan to start a new business to sell nicotine pouches, the possibilities are endless for meeting the growing customer demand.
Whether you own a vape shop, convenience store, e-commerce platform, or another type of retail business, integrating nicotine pouches into your product lineup can provide numerous benefits, especially in boosting sales, driving customer loyalty, and adapting to shifting customer demands.
Diversification of Product Offerings
When it comes to tobacco and nicotine products, it’s clear that consumer behaviors are changing. This is why it is particularly important for businesses that are already in the nicotine industry such as vape stores, e-commerce, or tobacco stores, to adapt to the changing customer demands to stay relevant.
These types of stores are the first places that customers think of going to when they are actively looking for nicotine pouches. If you don’t have them in your product offering, you not only risk missing out on sales but also loyal customers as they find their way to competitors that do stock these products.
Adding nicotine pouches to your inventory allows you to cater to this growing demand and differentiate your business from competitors who may not yet be offering these products. Offering nicotine pouches can help you tap into different customer segments and appeal to a broader customer base. This will only get increasingly important as more consumers are actively seeking safer and alternative nicotine products.
Enhancing Customer Loyalty and Retention
An important reason to offer nicotine pouches in your store is to enhance customer loyalty and boost customer retention. Nicotine pouches are consumable products that customers tend to buy regularly. Therefore, it’s not just a one-time purchase but rather a type of product that will keep customers coming back week after week.
As nicotine pouches become more popular, customers will likely seek out businesses that consistently stock their preferred brands and flavors. By establishing your business as a reliable source of nicotine pouches and offering a wide selection that caters to all preferences, you can build a loyal customer base that returns to your store or website regularly.
Expanding into the E-Commerce Space
For businesses that are already operating online or considering expanding into the e-commerce space, nicotine pouches present a lucrative product category. The demand for online shopping continues to grow, and nicotine pouches are particularly well-suited for e-commerce due to their compact size, long shelf life, and convenience in handling as e-commerce products. This is of course also true if you don’t already own an existing store but want to enter the nicotine pouch market.
An e-commerce doesn’t require a ton of investments and is relatively easy to set up which makes it easier to start than a physical store. Moreover, with an E-commerce store, you can tap into the whole Cypriot market rather than serving only a local area.
The nicotine pouch market in Cyprus is still relatively young which means there’s an opportunity for businesses to establish themselves as leaders in this space before it becomes saturated. Now is a great time to enter the market and establish yourself as a leader and an authority within this space before more competitors enter the market.
