Judging from the development of the market size of the global e-cigarette industry, it seems that the overall scale of the e-cigarette industry is on the rise. According to data from iiMedia Research, the global e-cigarette industry market sales will continue to rise in 2020, reaching US$42.4 billion, a year-on-year increase of 15.6%.

In 2019, the sales of e-cigarettes in the United States reached 16 billion US dollars, accounting for 48% of the total global sales, making it the world’s largest consumer of e-cigarettes. Followed by the United Kingdom, France, Germany, and other countries, the market share of e-cigarette sales exceeds 5%.

AIMC analysts believe that although countries have introduced e-cigarette regulatory policies one after another, the enthusiasm for the development of the e-cigarette industry remains undiminished. The strong growth of the global e-cigarette market is mainly attributed to the increasing acceptance of e-cigarette products among consumers, aggressive marketing activities by tobacco companies, and accelerated innovation and product development processes by e-cigarette manufacturers.

When buying e-cigarettes, 37.3% of e-cigarette consumers will choose e-cigarettes that cost less than 100 yuan. It can be seen that although China’s e-cigarette market has attracted the attention of capital in recent years, the market development of the tobacco industry is still concentrated in traditional tobacco companies. Consumers use products more out of a trial mentality, and the acceptable purchase price is low. my country The penetration rate and penetration rate of electronic cigarettes are still at a low level, and the market still has a certain room for development.

In terms of e-cigarette product experience, e-cigarette users are most concerned about short battery life (46.8%), followed by continuous high temperature, material quality, oil leakage, battery short circuit, and other issues. It can be seen that battery life, convenient oil change, and price are the main directions for users to look forward to the improvement of electronic cigarette products.

iiMedia Consulting analysts believe that there is no national standard to define the nature of e-cigarettes, and product positioning can easily become an obstacle for consumers to use products. In addition, the development of the industry is immature, the market lacks the comprehensive strength of excellent enterprises, a good brand reputation has not yet been formed, and consumers lack confidence in product quality assurance.

It is worth mentioning that heat-not-burn electronic cigarette devices are less harmful than traditional tobacco, and the taste is closest to the product, which is very popular among users. Survey data show that in February 2021, 35% of Chinese e-cigarette users prefer heat-not-burn e-cigarettes. User demand drives the development of the product market. It is estimated that the market size of my country’s heat-not-burn electronic cigarettes will reach 2.3 billion yuan in 2021.
