HYDERABAD, India, April 19, 2022 /PRNewswire/ --
Market overview
According to ReAnIn, the global e-cigarette market was valued at USD 21,199.57 million in the year 2021 and is projected to reach USD 44,292.02 million by the year 2028, registering a CAGR of 11.1% during the forecast period. North America accounted for the highest share (44.2%) in the global e-cigarettes market owing to the presence of leading companies and better accessibility of E-cigarettes and vapes in the region. Moreover, it is being marketed as a healthier option than traditional cigarettes which has helped in increasing the adoption of e-cigarettes among youths. According to 2021 National Youth Tobacco Survey (NYTS) data released by the US (Food and Drug Administration) FDA and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), 2.55 million (9.3%) students reported current (past 30-day) use of a tobacco product in 2021 and e-cigarettes were the most commonly used tobacco product.

E-cigarette Journey: From Revolutionary to Prohibited Product
Initially, E-cigarettes were marketed as a safer and healthier alternative to regular cigarettes, however, various research has highlighted their harmful effect on human bodies. The most disturbing finding is that sometimes e-cigarettes may contain far more nicotine than regular cigarettes and hence, more addictive than regular cigarettes. Therefore, regulatory bodies across the globe have expressed their concerns about these e-cigarettes. These concerns have resulted in two very different management approaches: first, banning all types of e-cigarettes and vaping devices; and second, closely monitoring or establishing a regulatory framework for these products.
So, the question is: which one is more appropriate and sustainable in the long run? Experts believe that banning these products will result in their sale through the illegal channel, while closely monitoring can help the government or regulatory bodies in understanding their usage and formulate policies accordingly. Hence, the US FDA is going ahead with the second option. In October 2021, US FDA granted the marketing approval to R.J. Reynolds (RJR) Vapor Company's Vuse Solo electronic nicotine delivery system (ENDS) device and accompanying tobacco-flavored e-liquid pods. Also, in March 2022, FDA authorized several tobacco-flavored ENDS products including Logic Vapeleaf, Logic Power and Logic Pro brands from Logic Technology Development LLC, a subsidiary of Japan Tobacco Inc.
Key Highlights of the Report:
- Rechargeable e-cigarettes accounted for the highest market share (more than 40%) in 2021 due to their cost-effectiveness and are expected to witness the highest CAGR during the forecast period.
- Currently, the majority of the e-cigarettes are sold through offline channels such as convenience stores, drug stores, specialty e-cigarette stores, etc., while the online sale is expected to gain pace in the near future.
- Social media promotions have been one of the effective strategies employed by e-cigarettes manufacturers to specifically target the youth population. Therefore, regulatory bodies such as FDA are closely monitoring social medial content from these manufacturers
