Dublin, Jan. 15, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The “E-Cigarette Market Research Report 2020-2029” report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com’s offering.
E-Cigarette Market is projected to reach a value of $23.15 billion by 2029 from $18.98 billion in 2023, growing at a CAGR of 3.4%
The global e-cigarette market is highly competitive, characterized by the presence of key players with substantial influence over the industry. The global e-cigarette market is dominated by several large and multinational companies including Altria Group, British American Tobacco (BAT), Imperial Brands, and Japan Tobacco International (JTI).
Furthermore, the market is heavily influenced by the involvement of the major tobacco companies. Recognizing the declining sale of traditional cigarettes due to increasing health awareness and regulatory pressures, these companies have aggressively entered the e-cigarette market.
Innovation is a critical competitive factor in the e-cigarette industry. Companies are continuously developing new technologies to enhance the vaping experience, improve safety, and meet the diverse preferences of consumers. Also, the advancements in battery technology have led to longer-lasting devices, while the improvements in e-liquid formulation have resulted in better flavor profiles and smoother throat hits. Moreover, the global e-cigarette market has seen the introduction of various product types, which are user-friendly and popular among beginners, and open systems including mods, which offer greater customization options for experienced vapers.
The company launched the You & Blu campaign to emphasize a wide range of flavors, such as Cherry Crush and Vivid Vanilla, along with a sleek design. Furthermore, rechargeable e-cigarettes, which include devices that allow users to refill e-liquid and recharge the battery, offer several advantages over disposable models. These benefits contribute to their increasing popularity and influence on market dynamics.
The rising awareness about the health hazards of smoking traditional cigarettes has positively impacted the global e-cigarette market. Cigarette smoking is a leading cause of preventable deaths worldwide, contributing to lung cancer, heart disease, Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), and a host of other health issues. Also, governments, non-profit organizations, and healthcare providers have invested heavily in anti-smoking campaigns, which have used a combination of graphic warnings, educational programs, and media to convey the severe health risks associated with smoking.
The global e-cigarette market has witnessed significant growth over the past decade, and one of the most striking trends driving this expansion is the rising prevalence of e-cigarette usage among the younger generation. Moreover, the trend toward offering numerous e-cigarette flavors, ranging from traditional tobacco and menthol to more exotic options including fruit, dessert, and beverage flavors, has significantly influenced industry growth and dynamics.
China has established itself as the epicenter of e-cigarette manufacturing, largely due to its robust industrial infrastructure, cost-effective production capabilities, and extensive supply chain networks. The country dominates not only in the production of e-cigarette devices but also in the supply of essential components such as batteries, coils, and tanks. The heavy reliance on China for e-cigarette manufacturing carries substantial economic implications.
The cost of e-cigarettes is a complex issue, encompassing the price structures of devices, e-liquids, and replacement parts as well as other associated expenses. For many consumers, particularly those in lower-income brackets, the initial investment required to switch to e-cigarettes can be prohibitive.
