Vape Manufacturer Ispire Expands Malaysia Operations, Negotiates Southeast Asia OEM Deal as Nicotine Pouch and US Age-Gating Businesses Develop

US-listed vaping technology and manufacturing company Ispire Technology reported fiscal first-quarter 2027 revenue of $27.5 million on November 9, 2026, down 9.3% year over year but up 3.2% sequentially. Gross margin recovered to 16.2%, while its net loss widened to $6.4 million from $3.3 million a year earlier. Management attributed the sales decline primarily to tighter European vaping regulation and reduced distributor orders. Ispire is expanding manufacturing in Malaysia and negotiating an OEM/ODM agreement with a Southeast Asian vaping brand, with an announcement anticipated in January 2027. The company estimates that Malaysian manufacturing offers an approximately 25% US tariff advantage over China-based production. However, it continues to purchase products from Shenzhen Yi Jia Technology Co., Ltd., a manufacturer controlled by its chairman, and reported $52 million in non-current related-party payables at September 30.

Italy Proposes Earlier Vape and HTP Tax Hikes, New Rules for E-Liquid Pricing, Exclusive Deals and Distribution

Italy's proposed 2027–2029 budget would bring forward scheduled tax increases for e-cigarette liquids and heated tobacco products from January 1, 2028, to July 1, 2027. The consumption tax coefficient for nicotine-containing e-liquids would rise from 20% to 22%, that for nicotine-free liquids and applicable flavorings from 15% to 17%, and the heated-tobacco coefficient from 41% to 42%. The bill would also introduce official retail price schedules for e-liquids, restrict exclusive agreements between retailers and suppliers, and limit single-brand-dominated displays, sales incentives and bundled offers. Importing, authorized warehousing and retailer sourcing arrangements would also change. The proposals remain subject to parliamentary approval and subsequent implementing regulations.
