Smoking Cessation and Nicotine De-addiction Market- Market Dynamics

Rise In Smoking-Related Diseases Boosts Demand For Cessation Products
The rising prevalence of smoking-related diseases is expected to drive future growth in the market for smoking cessation and nicotine de-addiction products. Cancers, respiratory diseases, and cardiovascular disorders are all examples of smoking-related diseases. The rising prevalence of smoking-related diseases is due to increased global tobacco consumption and ongoing exposure to harmful tobacco smoke. Smoking cessation and nicotine de-addiction products are used to help people quit smoking and reduce their reliance on nicotine, lowering their risk of developing smoking-related illnesses. For instance, in May 2024, the American Lung Association, a non-profit organization based in the United States, reported that smoking was responsible for 90% of lung cancer deaths and 80% of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) deaths. Chronic lung diseases affect 73% of current smokers, while former smokers account for 50% of these conditions, indicating an increase in smoking-related diseases. As a result, the increasing prevalence of smoking-related diseases is expected to drive growth in the market for smoking cessation and nicotine de-addiction products.

Smoking Cessation and Nicotine De-addiction Market- Segmentation Analysis:

The worldwide market is segmented on the basis of Form, Route of Administration, End-User, Product Type, Distribution Channel, and Region.
The Smoking Cessation and Nicotine De-addiction Market Form is primarily categorized into Tablet, Inhaler, Gum, and Others. Among which. The gum segment is an important revenue-generating category in the nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) market, thanks to its convenience, portability, and rapid nicotine absorption. Nicotine gums provide controlled and consistent release, making them a viable option for people looking to gradually stop smoking. Their discreet use, diverse flavor options, and sugar-free innovations have all contributed to high consumer acceptance. Manufacturers are continuing to invest in improved formulations and expanded distribution channels in order to improve accessibility and user compliance. In July 2021, Philip Morris International (PMI) acquired Denmark-based Fertin Pharma, a leading manufacturer of oral and intra-oral drug delivery systems, including nicotine gums. Before the acquisition, Fertin Pharma reported net revenues of around 1.1 billion Danish kroner in 2020, demonstrating the product category's commercial significance in the NRT market.
Based on the Product Type segment, the nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) segment continues to serve as an important revenue contributor within the smoking cessation and nicotine de-addiction market, supported by strong adoption of products such as gums, lozenges, sprays, and inhalers that offer a controlled and safer approach to managing nicotine withdrawal. Nicotine gums, in particular, maintain notable market traction due to their convenience, quick onset of action, and widespread availability through retail and pharmacy channels. Increased public health initiatives that promote NRT as a frontline cessation aid and expanding consumer preference for self-managed treatment options further reinforce the segment’s commercial strength. Reflecting this broad global demand, Dr Reddy’s highlighted that the Nicotinell/Nicabate/Habitrol product range included in its acquisition is distributed across more than 30 international markets, underscoring the segment’s wide adoption and sustained market relevance.
