US E-Cigarette Ban Boosting Competitors, Hurting Juul Sales

Aug.29.2022
US e-cigarette ban boosts other brands, with Vuser's market share increasing to 39% and Juul's dropping to 29.4%.

An e-cigarette retailer has confirmed that the ban will only promote other brands. They have reported that American consumers are now considering and migrating to other brands.


Last week's analysis covered the four weeks up to August 13th. The survey found that Vuser's market share had increased from 37.4% in the previous report to 39%, while Juul's market share had dropped from 30.7% to 29.4%. The decline in Juul's sales is attributed to ongoing events that could lead to a ban on Juul in the US.


Experts have long believed that bans only lead consumers to seek out alternate products. Despite Nielsen figures confirming this, the ban is only expected to bolster other brands, as vape retailers report that American consumers are considering and turning to other brands. Will Montgomery, a sales representative for AJ Vape, emphasized that if the Juul ban were to take effect, their sales would not be affected, as customers would simply turn to other brands. "People still need nicotine," he said.


Consumers agree. Former Juul user Payton Hartz said the potential ban "opens the door for other companies to enter the front line." "I think disposable e-cigarettes didn't even exist before Juul really appeared. I think what it really did legally is push more companies to be on par with Juul.
