Manufacturer of Blu Vapes, Tianchang Group, Sees Decline in E-Cigarette Sales
Tianchang Group's e-cigarette sales decreased by 68% due to the loss of a major client, Blu.

On June 14th, the Hong Kong Stock Exchange-listed company, Tianchang Group, announced that compared to the same period last year, the group has recorded a decrease of approximately 68% in sales revenue for e-cigarette products.

 

Tianchang Group attributes their decline in sales to "the customer hiring other manufacturers to produce e-cigarette products, which resulted in a corresponding decrease in sales orders from the customer."

 

The company stated that it will continue to monitor the effects of the removal of exclusive rights clauses and the manufacturing and sales of its different products. It also aims to broaden its customer base by seeking new clients to purchase high-quality e-cigarette products, as the group is no longer bound by exclusive rights clauses to manufacture and sell e-cigarette products for a specific customer.

These products will now be subject to the same taxation, sales restrictions and advertising controls as traditional cigarettes, and the vaping industry in South Korea is expected to face significant adjustments in compliance costs, market access and business strategy.
