Disposable vapes account for nearly 40% of the global tobacco market

According to a report by tobaccoreporter on October 12, the latest analysis from ECigIntelligence shows that disposable e-cigarettes account for nearly 40% of the tobacco market. After first surging in the United States, the disposable e-cigarette market is now growing even faster in other countries.

Consumers are mainly attracted to disposable e-cigarettes because of their convenience and low prices, but there are product differences across international markets.

For example, due to restrictions under the EU Tobacco Products Directive (TPD) on the amount of e-liquid allowed in e-cigarette products, disposable e-cigarettes in non-TPD countries have seen greater increases in size.

On the other hand, in some TPD markets, the number of zero-nicotine products is increasing because these products are allowed to have larger tank capacities.

Another notable recent development is that some products are beginning to address the environmental concerns associated with disposable e-cigarettes, such as products made mainly of paper or those containing biodegradable components.

To further understand the global disposable e-cigarette market, ECigIntelligence has launched a disposable e-cigarette tracking service.

The data shows developments since 2020 in the brands sold by leading online retailers in terms of disposable e-cigarette pricing, technical features, flavors, and nicotine strengths. Users can even select specific models and view their closest competitors on the market based on features such as puff count, e-liquid capacity, battery capacity, and physical shape.

"The disposable e-cigarette market has expanded so rapidly that there is an urgent need for reliable and in-depth data," said Tim Phillips, managing director of Tamarind Intelligence, the publisher of ECigIntelligence. "This new tracking service will provide the intelligence needed by participants at every level of the industry to help them shape their disposable product strategies."
