Tobacco giants diversifying
Zyn is owned by Philip Morris International, the tobacco giant, after the company acquired Swedish Match, the original developer of Zyn, in 2022.
This came at a time when cigarette sales were on the decline and the nicotine pouches and other smoking alternatives were growing at pace.
The growth of Zyn in the US market in particular, caught the eye of Philip Morris—now the brand has close to a 70% market share (February 2025).
Nicotine pouches represent a huge opportunity for global tobacco companies to diversify and continue growing as the sales of cigarettes fall. This is true as the demand for nicotine products remains high, while regulations tighten on smoking and vaping.
"Nicotine pouches are generally considered a safer and more socially acceptable form of nicotine use than smoking, and vaping.”
## What’s changed under the ownership of Philip Morris?
Since the major acquisition, Zyn has expanded its attractive product range to new markets and overhauled its manufacturing process.
Although Philip Morris International now owns ZYN, the day-to-day decisions about their portfolio of products still remains with Swedish Match, the organization that brought Zyn to market.
When was Zyn Launched?
Zyn was originally launched in 2014 by Swedish Match. The brand quickly captured users’ loyalty thanks to its commitment to quality and innovation.
Customers of Zyn value the company’s reliability, unique flavour options, and varying strengths.
The company’s branding also appealed to a modern audience, as it emphasizes a clean and accessible approach to nicotine pouches.
