ECigIntelligence's Tracker Reveals Global E-cigarette Regulations' Impact.
ECigIntelligence, a renowned independent data analysis firm in the tobacco substitute industry, has launched a new tracker that reveals how e-cigarette rules in different countries affect consumers' experiences with these products.
According to ECigIntelligence's Hardware Tracker, disposable electronic cigarette batteries and tank capacities have significantly increased in markets such as Canada, the United States, and Russia between mid-2019 and the end of 2021.
According to a press release from the organization, for example, tank capacity in the United States has increased by approximately 500%. However, it adds that in markets where legal restrictions limit the size of fuel tanks, such as in the United Kingdom, battery and fuel tank capacity remain static and consumer experience remains unchanged.
On the other hand, it points out that not all changes depend on regulations. Eva Antal, market analysis director of ECigIntelligence, said, "Our research emphasizes that while technological innovation and consumer demand certainly play a role in the development of e-cigarette products, the role of regulation, whether it be prohibition or support, is still crucial.
ECigIntelligence regulatory burden index.
In the 2020 update of the Regulatory Burden Index (ERBI) by ECigIntelligence, 31 out of the 83 countries listed have provided new information that has been added to ECigIntelligence's comprehensive internal database.
The update highlights that regulatory burdens have significantly increased in India, Montenegro, and the Philippines due to new e-cigarette regulations, whereas regulatory burdens have reduced in countries such as the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, and Egypt.
In terms of India, the reason for the increased burden is due to the recent ban imposed by the government, while in the Philippines, it is due to the imposition of a steam tax. The update also adds three new countries: Albania, Tunisia, and North Macedonia.
ERBI is a tool that international e-cigarette companies can reference to equip themselves with the latest knowledge and give them the best chance of success. Based on 23 factors, ECigIntelligence considers these factors crucial for measuring the legal obstacles faced by global retailers and manufacturers.
