International Smoke-Free shipment volume growth measures year-over-year change in shipment volume across PMI's International Smoke-Free portfolio.

PMI reported 8.0% growth in the second quarter of 2026, to 44.7B equivalent units.

Growth was broad across markets

PMI highlighted Taiwan, Romania, and Greece as notable contributors.

The portfolio includes heated tobacco, oral smoke-free products, and e-vapor products, so the aggregate rate mixes categories with different unit conventions.

Equivalent units are an issuer reporting framework

The metric is useful within PMI's portfolio but should not be treated as a standardized industry volume index.
