Nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) includes a variety of products like patches, gums, lozenges, inhalers, and nasal sprays that help taper nicotine intake for those attempting to quit smoking and other tobacco products. As the health risks of smoking have become more well-known in recent decades due to scientific research, more smokers are motivated to quit. NRT products have proven effective as they release nicotine gradually over time to help relieve cravings and withdrawal symptoms during the initial quitting process without many of the harmful toxins found in cigarette smoke. While willpower alone is still the primary method for smokers to quit, NRT provides an additional evidence-based option that has helped millions of people on their journey toward becoming smoke-free.
Market Dynamics:
The global nicotine replacement therapy market is driven by the rising prevalence of smoking-related diseases and growing awareness about the health risks of tobacco use. However, the market also faces some restraints from the availability of cheaper alternatives to NRT products like e-cigarettes. There is an opportunity for market players to invest in developing more innovative nicotine delivery methods and combination NRT therapies for different lifestyles. Countries with large smoking populations and expanding healthcare systems also present significant market potential. For instance, on May 4, 2023, according to a report published by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, in 2021, an estimated 11.5% (28.3 million) of the U.S. adults smoked cigarettes, due to which there was more than US$ 240 billion loss in healthcare spending and nearly US$ 372 billion productivity was lost.
