Global E-cigarette & Vaporizer, Device and Aftermarket, Analysis and Forecast, 2016-2025 - Big Tobacco Companies Taken Over the $47 Billion Industry Through a Series of Mergers and Acquisitions

Dublin, Jan. 18, 2017 -- Research and Markets has announced the addition of the "Global E-cigarette & Vaporizer, Device and Aftermarket, Analysis and Forecast, 2016-2025" report to their offering.

The global e-cigarette market is poised to grow over $47 billion by 2025 at a double digit CAGR from 2015 to 2025.

The market has been largely driven by a flurry of activities including Mergers and Acquisitions, Patent Warfare, and increasing customization in products among others. Moreover, the emergence of Vape shops is increasingly engaging more users through their wide variety of products and better assistance while shopping the desired products. However, the state and local government's proposals to levy hefty taxes on e-cigarettes is emerging as a key challenge for the market. Also, compatibility issues and the unregulated manufacturing process in China are yet other restraining factors in the e-cigarette market.

In spite of the proposals of stringent regulations and policies governing the e-cigarette market, the revenue from the key geographical regions will continue to rise at a double digit CAGR through the forecast period. While North America, with U.S. leading the way will dominate the market throughout the forecast period, APAC will be growing at the fastest CAGR, accounting for more than 27% of the global e-cigarette market value by 2025. Significant revenue flow will be observed in China and India.

Tobacco consortiums, recently established vaping associations and regulatory bodies have a significant role to play in the global e-cigarette industry since the future growth of the market largely depends on the regulatory framework. The implementation of the Tobacco Product Directive (TPD) by the European Union (EU) is by far the most controversial directive and has taken effect from May 2016. Following the regulations, the companies are expected to bring about drastic changes in their marketing and distribution strategies, which might affect the market growth through the forecast period. Moreover, four of the U.S. states including Minnesota and North Carolina have already imposed taxes on e-cigarettes and accessories, and a similar paradigm is expected to be followed through the forecast years.
