Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach US$ 162.8 Billion by 2032, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 24.44% during 2024-2032.

Heat not burn (HNB) tobacco is an electronic device that contains tobacco. It heats tobacco without burning and creates an aerosol that the user inhales. It comprises a carbon tip wrapped in glass fibers that do not cause the product to create ash or burn down in size. It uses real tobacco, not flavored liquid nicotine, as compared to e-cigarettes. It allows users to experience the sensation of smoking a regular cigarette without inhaling combusted tobacco. HNB tobacco can help reduce the risk of tobacco-related harm for adult smokers who switch from combusted cigarettes. It delivers reduced toxicity, lowers levels of harmful chemicals, and causes minimal impact on lung or heart health as compared to regular cigarettes. As they assist in reducing oxidative stress, inflammation, and deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) damage, the demand for HNB tobacco is rising across the globe.
Heat Not Burn (HNB) Tobacco Market Trends:
At present, the increasing demand for HNB tobacco products due to their low and effective pricing represents one of the key factors supporting the growth of the market. Besides this, there is a rise in the demand for HNB products on account of the growing consumption of tobacco products with minimal nicotine content among smokers. This, along with the increasing awareness among the masses about the harmful impacts of smoking traditional cigarettes, is offering lucrative growth opportunities to industry investors.
