Scandinavian Tobacco Group UK has two exciting pieces of news concerning its XQS nicotine pouch range, with a change in strength across the range and a new variant arriving.
In reaction to the latest market trends, all XQS 8mg sku’s will be transitioning to 10mg, as consumer demand in the category is clearly demonstrating that medium to higher strengths are preferred by a growing number of pouch users. However, both the Tropical and Spearmint flavours will remain at lower strengths to cater for new entrants to the category.
STG UK is also pleased to be adding a Virgin Peppermint sku to the XQS range. Initially only available online through websites such as Haypp, this latest addition to the range has the same great long-lasting flavour which the XQS range is known for but is completely nicotine free, so will not be subject to the upcoming regulation which bans the free sampling of all nicotine products.
Adam Palmer, Senior Brand Manager at STG UK, comments, “It’s been a really busy year so far for XQS and we’re confident that these two latest pieces of news will help keep the brand moving in a positive trajectory. The sku transition will cleanse the portfolio to cater for largest strength demand, while the introduction of a nicotine free variant gives a new option and should add incremental growth in the alternative pouch category. Moving forwards all our new flavours will be launched online only to test their popularity and relevance with high intent audiences, before being available to retailers which should help ensure greater success.”
