9 November 2023
Introduction
The latest analysis from ECigIntelligence reveals that disposable e-cigarettes have surged to claim almost 40% of the global e-cigarette market. While their initial popularity spiked in the United States, the disposable market is now expanding rapidly in other countries.
Consumer Attraction Factors
Consumers are drawn to disposable e-cigarettes due to their convenient nature and budget-friendly pricing. However, variations in product offerings are observed internationally.
International Distinctions
For instance, the European Union's Tobacco Products Directive (TPD) has influenced the size of disposable products in non-TPD countries. Meanwhile, in TPD markets, there's a rise in zero-nicotine products with larger tank capacities.
