Nielsen: Vape Sales Decline in U.S., Vuse Market Share Slightly Rising to 42.2%
According to Journalnow, e-cigarette sales in the US have dropped 13.9%, with Vuse by R.J. Reynolds gaining market share.

According to a recent report by Journalnow, data released by Nielsen Convenience Store shows that overall e-cigarette sales in the United States have decreased by 13.9%.

 

Among them, the market share of the best-selling e-cigarette brand Vuse, owned by British American Tobacco subsidiary R.J. Reynolds, has gradually increased from 42% to 42.2%; while the second-ranked JUUL's market share remains unchanged at 24.2%; the market share of NJoy, acquired by Ascent Industries, has reached 3.2%; and the market share of blu eCigs, owned by Imperial Tobacco subsidiary Fontem Ventures, has decreased from 1.2% to 1.1%.

 

In 2019, JUUL held a market share of 74.6% in the e-cigarette market in the United States. However, a series of regulatory actions have led to a reduction in product availability and a decrease in consumer demand.

 

British American Tobacco and Imperial Brands are urging the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to crack down on the illegal synthetic nicotine e-cigarette products in the US tobacco market. The two companies estimate that these synthetic tobacco products account for half of the entire e-cigarette market in the United States.

 

The Nielsen report primarily focuses on large chain stores, while for small chain stores, the organization relies on trend extrapolation.
