On December 20, 2024, the leading global NGP media and consultancy 2Firsts successfully held the "Outlook 2025" 2Firsts Open Day event in Shenzhen, China. At the event, 2Firsts released the "Top 10 Trendsetting E-Cigarettes of 2024" and held an on-site audience voting activity for the selected 10 products. Additionally, they engaged in in-depth discussions on the future trends of e-cigarette products with professionals in the e-cigarette industry.
The "Top 10 Trendsetting E-Cigarettes of 2024" list covers two major market dimensions: non-TPD-regulated and TPD-compliant. Research conducted by two leading teams found that products in the non-TPD-regulated market are characterized by diversity and innovation, with a focus on user experience.
