Philip Morris International: A global smoke-free champion
Philip Morris International (PMI) is a leading international consumer goods company, actively delivering a smoke-free future and evolving its portfolio for the long-term to include products outside of the tobacco and nicotine sector.
The company’s current product portfolio primarily consists of cigarettes and smoke-free products, including heat-not-burn, nicotine pouch and e-vapour products.
As of December 31, 2024, PMI's smoke-free products were available for sale in 95 markets, and PMI estimates they were used by 38.6 million adults around the world.
The smoke-free business accounted for 42% of PMI’s first-quarter 2025 total net revenues.
Since 2008, PMI has invested more than US$14bn to develop, scientifically substantiate and commercialise innovative smoke-free products for adults who would otherwise continue to smoke, with the goal of completely ending the sale of cigarettes.
This includes the building of world-class scientific assessment capabilities, notably in the areas of pre-clinical systems toxicology, clinical and behavioural research as well as post-market studies.
Following a robust science-based review, the US Food and Drug Administration has authorised the marketing of Swedish Match’s General snus and ZYN nicotine pouches and versions of PMI’s IQOS devices and consumables - the first-ever such authorisations in their respective categories.
Versions of IQOS devices and consumables and General snus also obtained the first-ever Modified Risk Tobacco Product authorisations from the FDA.
With a strong foundation and significant expertise in life sciences, PMI has a long-term ambition to expand into wellness and healthcare areas and aims to enhance life through the delivery of seamless health experiences.
