In the previously issued "Opinions on Supporting the High-Quality Development of Advanced Manufacturing Industry and Accelerating the Construction of a World-Class Advanced Manufacturing Hub in Bao'an District" in February 2022, encouragement was mentioned for the "regionally distinctive advantageous industries". It is understood that this actually refers to the e-cigarette manufacturing industry. The implementation of these "measures" is a further clarification of the intention to support this industry.


The "measures" propose supporting the development of regional characteristic advantage industries, particularly strategic emerging industries and future industries. It emphasizes encouraging the concentrated development of characteristic advantage industries such as new electronic atomization devices. Over 90% of global e-cigarettes are manufactured in China, with the manufacturing hub centered in Bao'an District, Shenzhen, extending to Shenzhen, Dongguan, and the entire Greater Bay Area. Currently, Bao'an District has formed a cluster advantage in the electronic atomization industry, covering the complete industry chain from raw materials, research and development, production, sales, logistics, exhibitions, and services.


Bao'an District is a major industrial, economic, and populous area in Shenzhen, ranking eighth among the top 100 districts nationwide, eighth among the top 100 districts in scientific and technological innovation, and third among the top 100 districts in investment competitiveness. In 2021, the GDP of Bao'an District reached 442.182 billion yuan, while the total export volume of China's aerosol companies reached 138.3 billion yuan in the same year. It is foreseeable that with the support of the Bao'an District government, the e-cigarette industry cluster will further innovate and upgrade, consolidating Shenzhen's position as a global "vapor valley" and continuing to lead the global development of the Chinese e-cigarette industry.

JAMA Study: U.S. Vape Directories Fail to Sustainably Curb Unlisted Sales as Product Shifts May Redistribute Brand Share 2Firsts Recommended
A study by CDC Foundation researchers found no sustained decline in e-cigarette sales across Alabama, Oklahoma and Louisiana, the first three U.S. states to implement e-cigarette directory laws. Louisiana initially saw a significant sales decline, followed by a rebound and a persistent reduction in product availability. Sales also shifted from nontobacco-flavored disposables toward prefilled cartridges, with Vuse Alto driving much of the increase in menthol cartridges. By April 2025, unlisted products still accounted for more than half of e-cigarette nicotine sales in all three states.

The UK High Court has ordered Chinese vape manufacturer Shenzhen SKE Technology to provide £569,039 ($776,000) in security for costs in its design infringement proceedings against Vapepen London and other defendants over its Crystal Bar vape product. The court did not accept the defendants’ main argument that recovering costs from a China-based company would face significant enforcement obstacles, but found that SKE had not sufficiently disclosed its own financial position. The order is procedural and does not determine the underlying infringement claims.

Reuters Tracks Big Tobacco’s Shift Beyond Cigarettes as Nicotine Pouches Vie for the Next Growth Curve
As cigarette markets face long-term pressure, major tobacco companies are increasingly turning to nicotine pouches in search of growth beyond combustible tobacco. Reuters has examined whether nicotine pouches can become the next strategic growth platform for companies including Philip Morris International, British American Tobacco and Japan Tobacco. PMI strengthened its position through the acquisition of Swedish Match and its ZYN brand, while BAT and JTI continue expanding their own nicotine pouch portfolios. The category has gained attention because of its smoke-free, device-free format, but regulation, youth-use concerns and market scale will determine whether it can become a long-term growth engine.
