GCC E-Cigarette Market

Market Overview:

The GCC e-cigarette market is currently witnessing strong growth. E-cigarettes, also known as vapes, e-hookahs and electronic nicotine delivery systems (ENDS), are non-combustible battery-operated devices manufactured using containers, atomizers, batteries and e-liquid. These cigarettes provide a tobacco smoking sensation and are available in different shapes and sizes, resembling regular cigarettes, cigars, pipes, pens and USB flash drives.

At present, there is a significant rise in the demand for e-cigarettes in the GCC region on account of the growing awareness among individuals about the harmful impact of smoking conventional cigarettes. Apart from this, leading manufacturers are focusing on the introduction of next-generation e-cigarettes with prefilled or refillable pod systems. These manufacturers are also introducing a wide range of innovative designs and product flavors, such as robust espresso and sweet cinnamon, to expand their product portfolio and increase their existing sales. Besides this, market players are focusing on aggressive promotional strategies to reach a wider audience, especially young adults, in the region. These factors collectively are anticipated to propel the growth of the e-cigarette market in the coming years. On account of these factors, the market is expected to continue its strong growth during the forecast period (2021-2026).
