According to a report by CNBC on December 26th, the e-cigarette industry has experienced rapid growth over the past decade, leading to a continuous decline in the traditional cigarette market. However, due to the increasing dependency and addiction of young people to e-cigarettes, as well as the rising number of users battling addiction, the e-cigarette industry is facing a major review. Governments at various levels are now planning to restrict the sales of disposable e-cigarettes.
Marcus Saxton, the CEO of British e-cigarette company Totally Wicked and chairman of the Independent British Vape Trade Association, has stated that the UK e-cigarette market is valued between $3 billion and $4 billion. According to estimates and intelligence cues, the illicit market could account for as much as two-thirds of the total market.
As of October, a total of 28 countries have banned the sale of e-cigarettes. Several countries, including the UK, Germany, France, Ireland, and Belgium, are currently planning to ban the sale of disposable e-cigarettes. However, due to their growing popularity, this regulation may face significant resistance.
According to a study conducted by the Tobacco and Alcohol Research Group at the University of Bristol, there are indications that the e-cigarette trend in the United States is stabilizing and may even decline in the future. The researchers believe that significant growth in the popularity of e-cigarettes may not be seen again. However, it remains to be seen when exactly the decline in e-cigarette popularity will occur.
