ECigIntelligence Hardware Trends: Batteries and Storage Capacities Soar
According to the ECigIntelligence Hardware Tracker, the capacity of disposable e-cigarette batteries and tanks increased drastically from mid-2019 to the end of 2021 in markets such as Canada, the United States, and Russia.
According to a press release from the organization, for example, tank storage capacity in the United States has increased by approximately 500%. However, it also notes that in markets where tank storage capacity is restricted by law, such as in the United Kingdom, battery and tank storage capacity has remained unchanged during this time, and consumers' experiences have likewise remained constant.
On the other hand, it is pointed out that not all changes depend on regulations. Eva Antal, the market analysis director at ECigIntelligence, stated: "Our research emphasizes that while technological innovation and consumer demand play a role in the development of electronic cigarette products, the role of regulation - whether inhibiting or facilitating - remains crucial.
ECigIntelligence Regulatory Burden Index
The 2020 update of ECigIntelligence's Regulatory Burden Index (ERBI) reveals that 31 of the 83 countries/regions listed have updated their information from ECigIntelligence's internal database.
Due to new regulations on electronic cigarettes and increasing regulatory burdens in India, Montenegro, and the Philippines, the update emphasizes a reduction in regulatory burdens for countries such as the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, and Egypt.
In India, the increased burden is due to a recent ban implemented by the government, while in the Philippines, it is due to the imposition of an electronic cigarette tax. This update also adds three new countries to the list: Albania, Tunisia, and North Macedonia.
