Nicotine Pouches Brands – Which Nicotine Pouch Brands are There?

Today there is a wide range of different brands that manufacture nicotine pouches. All brands have their distinct production methods and distinctive features that make them unique. One brand focuses on strong and powerful nicotine pouches while others focus on developing new, exciting and unique flavors.

The wide range of new nicotine pouch brands makes it very exciting to explore all the options on the market. When nicotine pouches gained popularity around 2015 to 2017, there were only a few brands on the market. There was Zyn and Lyft (now Velo), but the choices were pretty limited.

That’s why it’s especially fun today when there are over 20 nicotine pouch brands on the market to discover. With an increased number of brands and manufacturers, there has also been increased competition, which means that brands must continue to develop and improve to stand out. This is fantastic for us consumers as it leads to new, exciting, and better solutions and products. Some of these innovations include Volts Pearl technology, Loops Instant Rush technology, and of course an endless variety of flavors.

If you’re curious about what brands of nicotine pouches are on the market, you’ve come to the right place. Below, we go through the brands one by one. Note that new brands are constantly added to the market while some disappear, such as Lyft which became Velo. In other words, it is a constantly changing market. Additionally, it is important to note that not all brands may sell their products in Sweden for various reasons. However, this does not mean they will never be launched on the Swedish market.

But the positive is that because Sweden is the home of nicotine pouches and an important market, you can buy most of the brands at Swenico.se.

Most nicotine pouch brands are Swedish

Since nicotine pouches are a product development of the classic tobacco snus, it’s not surprising that the majority of the brands on the nicotine pouch market are Swedish, or at least have Swedish roots. Some brands were founded in Sweden but have since been acquired and are now run by international companies.

Snus is banned throughout the EU except in Sweden, and it is Sweden of all countries that has the largest snus culture. For this reason, it is understandable that the home country of nicotine pouches is Sweden, even though nicotine pouches, unlike snus, are not banned in the EU. At the same time, the popularity of nicotine pouches is increasing worldwide, especially in the EU and USA. This has resulted in the start of new brands, both not based in Sweden and Swedish companies, that continue to be started.

However, even though nicotine pouches are becoming more popular internationally, the majority of nicotine pouches are still manufactured in Sweden, especially for the largest and most popular brands. One explanation for this is that many of the companies behind nicotine pouch brands also manufacture snus and already have their factories established in Sweden.

Après

The company is based in Stockholm and it is from here that the products are developed and produced. Après primarily focuses on developing nicotine pouches with exciting and unique flavors, as well as quality and design, which explains their sleek and modern cans and unique and exciting flavors such as Ice tea peach, lemon curd, and cactus lime. What really sets this brand apart is their entirely unique flavors that provide a taste experience beyond the ordinary.

Après products are developed and produced in Stockholm.

With its first launch of nicotine pouches, Lundgrens released three different versions inspired by nature with the flavors of meadow, dunes, and hoarfrost.

Velo’s history begins in 2015 when the brand launched the world’s first white snus, Epok. This snus contained washed tobacco that did not discolor teeth, just like nicotine pouches. So one could say that Epok was the precursor to today’s tobacco-free nicotine pouches. In 2018, the name was changed from Epok to Lyft, and BAT changed the recipe from using washed tobacco to using plant fiber, making it completely tobacco-free.

In 2022, the name was changed again to Velo.
