Market Overview:
The Asia Pacific e-cigarette market is currently witnessing robust growth. An e-cigarette comprises a battery, mouthpiece, heating coil and liquid cartridge to deliver dosages of vaporized nicotine or flavored solution to the user. Also known as an e-vape, it is considered safer than a conventional cigarette as it does not burn tobacco to generate tar and carbon monoxide. Consequently, it is gaining traction among young adults in the Asia Pacific region.
The growing awareness among individuals about the harmful effects of tobacco and the increasing willingness to quit smoking are escalating the demand for e-cigarettes in the Asia Pacific region. Apart from this, several manufacturers are introducing new-generation products that allow users to refill the cartridge. They are also offering innovative flavors such as mint, menthol, chocolate, bubble gum, coffee, tea, cinnamon and clove, which is assisting in increasing the overall sales. Additionally, leading players are focusing on mergers and acquisitions to expand their consumer base. For instance, Japan Tobacco International (JTI) acquired E-Lites, a UK-based e-cigarette brand, to launch new products and commercialize vaporizers. Furthermore, the easy availability of e-cigarettes through online retail channels is anticipated to drive the market in the coming years. On account of these factors, the market is expected to continue its robust growth during the forecast period (2021-2026).
