With a higher percentage of the population smoking, South Africa represents a substantial market for smoking cessation products like nicotine gum. The larger pool of smokers seeking effective methods to quit or reduce smoking creates a significant demand for nicotine gum as a preferred nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) option. As per the 2021 Global Adult Tobacco Survey (GATS) South Africa report, released by the Department of Health, the most recent data was sampled from 7,245 households. It was found that the prevalence of tobacco use in South Africa is 29.4%. The data also revealed that a higher percentage of men (41.7%) are currently using tobacco compared to women (17.9%). The higher prevalence of smokers in South Africa encourages manufacturers to innovate and expand their nicotine gum product lines. Innovations in formulation, flavor options, packaging, and integration with digital health solutions cater to diverse consumer needs and preferences, enhancing product appeal and effectiveness in supporting smoking cessation efforts. Hence, the increasing retail sector and the high rate of smokers in the region drive the market's growth.
