Vape (e-Cigarette and
Vaporizer) Products – Drivers and Trends
This market research report provides
market overview of the factors driving and restraining the growth of the
market. The report also outlines the key trends emerging in the market that
will contribute to the growth of Worldwide Vape Products (e-Cigarette and
Vaporizer) Market during the forecast period. The factors driving the growth of
the market include consumers' perception of vapor products as an alternative to
traditional tobacco cigarettes. There is increased desire among consumers
worldwide to quit smoking tobacco and this has made vaping a rapidly growing
concept worldwide. The global sales volume of traditional cigarettes has
declined owing to an increase in sales of e-cigarette and vaping. The US
witnessed about 19% decline altogether in traditional cigarette sales among
adults, i.e., a drop from 20 of every 100 adults (19.8%) in 2008 to nearly 16
of every 100 adults (15.7%) in 2015. Due to this, the majority of the global
players in the tobacco industry witnessed a massive decline in the shipment of
traditional cigarettes in 2015, prompting bigger tobacco companies like Altria
Group, Imperial Tobacco, and Reynolds American to rush into the vapor products
market. Also, the increasing number of deaths caused by smoking-related cancer
has propelled people to stop smoking traditional cigarettes. For instance, as
per the US government, approximately 480,000 people, due to active smoking, and
nearly 42,000 people, due to passive smoking, die in the country every year.
The tobacco smoking is attributed to one in every five deaths in the US.
Some of the major challenges confronting
the Worldwide Vape Products (e-Cigarette and Vaporizer) Market include
governments introducing stringent norms to regulate vapor products. Vape
products are banned in many major economies such as Brazil, Japan, and
Indonesia. Also, the governments of Poland and India are considering imposing a
complete ban on the sale and use of these products. In March 2016, the US
Department of Transportation (DOT) banned the use of e-cigarette, vape pens and
vaporizer or vapes in flights. Moreover, growing health concerns related to the
use of vapor products is acting as a challenge to the growth of the market.
Regulatory bodies are still not clear on how much nicotine or other chemicals
are actually being inhaled by the body while vaping. In addition, the
effectiveness of these products in helping people quit smoking has not been
fully studied. Researchers have indicated that e-liquids containing chemical
flavoring have substances which cause lung diseases. About 90% of the flavored
e-liquid or e-juice in the market contain an organic compound called Diacetyl.
This flavoring chemical, i.e., Diacetyl has also been linked to severe lung
diseases. Exposure to this chemical leads to Bronchiolitis obliterans,
spirometry abnormalities and other harmful respiratory symptoms.
