Mint and Menthol Market Dynamics
Drivers
- Growing use of menthol in the tobacco and cigarette manufacturing industry
Tobacco companies are increasingly using menthol, as manufacturers continue to market menthol cigarettes as a cool and refreshing product. Furthermore, tobacco companies produce menthol cigarettes to attract new customers because menthol cigarettes are more appealing than traditional non-flavoured cigarettes. Furthermore, as tobacco companies continue to invest in engaging ads and branding for menthol cigarettes that feature water, nature, and other refreshing elements, the global preference for menthol cigarettes has grown.
- Improved marketing strategies to attract the youth

Menthol has emerged as one of the most effective pain control solutions in the medical sector as a result of several research and development activities. Furthermore, because menthol is relatively safe and effective in the treatment of a wide range of painful conditions such as sports injuries, migraine, neuropathic pain, and musculoskeletal pain, there is a growing demand for menthol in topical analgesic products.
Manufacturers are employing a variety of marketing strategies to pique the interest of the younger generation and increase demand for Mint and Menthol with new flavours, shapes, and appealing packaging.
Opportunity
The rapid consumption of this mint and menthol is one of the major trends observed in the global market, owing to the growing population of young people in developing countries.

Manufacturers are employing a variety of marketing strategies to pique the interest of the younger generation and increase demand for mint and menthol with new flavours and appealing packaging.
Restraints
