The global moist snuff market is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 5.5% during the forecast period (2022- 2028). A moist is a type of smokeless tobacco that is made of finely ground or shredded tobacco leaves. It can be consumed orally and offered in different forms such as portion snuff and loose snuff. Moist snuff contains carcinogenic substances and the addictive substance nicotine. They are less harmful alternative to smoking, as consumption of snuff does not harm the lungs like conventional tobacco smoking. With the increase in awareness of chewing tobacco and smoking, there is a decline in consumption of tobacco and now people are taking support of this smokeless tobacco which is an alternative to smoking. This is the driving factor for the growth of the global moist snuff market.

Additionally, these moist snuffs are available in different flavours owing to which consumers are attracted to it and thereby the demand for the moist snuff has been significantly growing. The rise in demand for chewing tobacco types and their low price are some other factors accelerating the growth of the market. Government authorities in various countries are increasing the excise duty on cigarettes and therefore, consumers are looking for alternatives such as smokeless tobacco. This is expected to boost the growth of the market in the near future. However, regular use of moist snuff can be harmful as it contains 24 polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) that cause oral and pancreatic cancers. The use of smokeless tobacco increases the risk of mortality due to myocardial infarction and there is a higher risk of diabetes associated with snuff which is expected to restrain the growth of the global moist snuff market.
