Costs of tobacco and labor have eased from pandemic-era highs for Philip Morris. The company said in July it expected headwinds from these expenses to ease further in the second half of the year. Its market-leading heated tobacco device IQOS has gained traction in countries such as Japan and Italy, while other options like ZYN have also proven popular in the key U.S. market.
Shipment volumes for ZYN nicotine pouches, which the Connecticut-based company sells in the U.S., rose 65.7% year-on-year in the third quarter, compared to a 53.1% jump in the previous quarter.
