Global Market Growth for Disposable E-cigarettes

Jul.20.2022
The disposable e-cigarette market is growing due to increased acceptance by young consumers and demand for non-tobacco products.

The design of disposable e-cigarettes is such that the device is discarded once the e-liquid is depleted. The number of North American and European Generation Z individuals using disposable e-cigarettes continues to rise and is expected to drive market growth. Disposable e-cigarettes are seen as a safe alternative to rechargeable e-cigarettes, which could be a positive factor in the market. Additionally, young people and teenagers are increasingly accepting different e-cigarette devices, which will further propel market growth.


Consumers are turning to e-cigarettes to regulate their daily intake of nicotine, providing a favorable factor for the disposable e-cigarette market. Each brand offers different flavors to increase customer reach. The demand for non-tobacco products is expected to boost the global e-cigarette market. It has been observed that older users prefer this product as it has no negative health effects. The demand for e-cigarettes in developing countries is expected to grow at a higher rate. Large distribution channels of major brands are expected to help expand their market coverage in developing countries.


Strict government regulations serve as market constraints.


Governments in various countries in the Asia Pacific region are modifying regulations regarding electronic cigarette products. For instance, India, Brazil, Uruguay, and Singapore have banned electronic cigarettes to reduce tobacco consumption among people.

Additionally, younger generations such as Generation Z and Millennials are increasingly adopting disposable e-cigarettes, which is expected to drive further market growth. The trend of e-cigarette usage is also on the rise in both the United States and Canada.


The European market is expected to expand at a higher rate. The adoption rate of disposable e-cigarettes is significantly high in the UK, France, and Germany. The demand for fruit-flavored e-cigarettes is also widely popular in the region.

JAMA Issues First U.S. Clinical Guidance on Vaping for Smoking Cessation, Urging Complete Switch From Cigarettes
JAMA Issues First U.S. Clinical Guidance on Vaping for Smoking Cessation, Urging Complete Switch From Cigarettes
JAMA has published a Special Communication offering systematic recommendations for U.S.-based clinicians on the use of nicotine e-cigarettes in adult smoking cessation. Developed by the Harm Reduction Workgroup of the Society for Research on Nicotine and Tobacco’s Treatment Research Network, the paper recommends including e-cigarettes alongside FDA-approved cessation medications in risk-benefit discussions. It cites high-certainty evidence that nicotine e-cigarettes achieve higher quit rates than nicotine replacement therapy and evidence suggesting efficacy comparable to highly effective medications such as varenicline and cytisine. For adults who choose vaping to quit, the authors recommend FDA-authorized products, sufficient nicotine delivery and a rapid, complete transition away from cigarettes rather than prolonged dual use.

U.S. Customs Plan to Require Foreign Export Declarations Could Deal ‘Devastating’ Blow to China’s Vape Exports, Logistics gl Expert Says
A U.S. Customs and Border Protection proposal to collect foreign export declarations and other overseas customs documents could expose discrepancies in the value, classification and description of China-made vape shipments entering the United States. A veteran Chinese logistics professional told 2Firsts that the measure, if implemented, could undermine the all-inclusive shipping model used by some unauthorized vape exporters and push parts of the trade toward costlier underground channels. The risk extends beyond higher duties: accurately declared products may also be more readily identified as unauthorized e-cigarettes subject to FDA enforcement.
