SwedishMatch is the leading producer of snuff products in Northern Europe and in the South African market and one of the leading producers in North America.
SwedishMatch (which is the market leader in Sweden) efforts over a number of years to develop Swedish snuff (snus) as an alternative to cigarette smoking, with a documented lower health risk, gained international attention.
SwedishMatch is one of four players and holds the most rapidly expanding market share, which amounted to in average approximately 8.5 percent in 2001.
However, the risk for Swedish females of dying from a tobacco-related disease is in level with the risk for women in the rest of Europe.
SwedishMatch's strategy may be appealing to cigarette manufacturers since it does not promote quitting and may counteract the cessation effects generated by clean indoor air laws.
Swedish men have the lowest rate of lung cancer in Europe, according to WHO figures, and the lowest risk of dying from a smoking-related disease-just 11 per cent compared with 25 per cent in Europe as a whole.
