Disposable Vapes Market Report

The rise in disposable vapes could be attributed to the FDA's marketing denial orders (MDO) issued to numerous flavoured pod-based devices since the premarket tobacco application process (PMTA) started. Disposables face even less regulations outside the United States. Sales of disposable devices have increased in Australia, UK and even South Africa. In the United States, disposable devices represent approximately one-third of the sales. The rising popularity of flavoured disposable vapes from brands such as Puff Bar, Vuse and Suorin is expected to drive the North America region's disposable vape market. Disposable devices are also popular in fuel stations, convenience stores and in certain cases, liquor stores. This corresponds to smokers' current purchase habits, making the transition from cigarettes to a disposable vape easier. This is one of the most powerful, methods of promoting vaping's tobacco harm reduction (THR) capabilities. Following that, smokers are frequently able to seek out the additional benefits of more classic vape setups. It's an excellent opportunity for regulators and vape manufacturers to collaborate in promoting disposable vapes as a sort of transition from cigarettes to long-term devices. Disposable vapes and e-cigarettes are one of the market's largest and fastest-growing segments.

One of the most significant problem is the lack of recycling of disposable products, companies that manufacture disposables should be forced to make attempts to promote recycling of their products in some way. The majority of manufacturers shifted to rechargeable devices with larger e-liquid capacities. This has the potential to significantly reduce the amount of waste produced. Vape companies can reduce waste by simply doubling the capacity of a disposable vape. Increased regulations are hampering the market. Many parents and anti-vape activists blame manufacturers for the increase in underage vaping. One of the infamous companies is the Puff Bar.

The shifting consumer preference for more convenient smoking, without the need for recharging or refilling, will help the market gain traction in the coming years. For example, RELX International entered the disposable market in May 2022, adding two new disposable vape brands to its line-up of luxury vapes in the United Kingdom: RELX x BubbleMon and WAKA Mini. Flawless UK Vape Distribution Ltd., one of Europe's top vaping distributors, signed an agreement in May 2022 with ELF BAR, the leading Chinese company of disposable vape, to develop the Gee600 disposable device for the UK's vape and FMCG sectors. Vaptex released a new vape device, GORIN MAX 4500 puffs adjustable airflow disposable pod, in April 2022, which combines several features from TAKIN and GORIN for a better combo for all vapers.

Philip Morris International, British American Tobacco, Japan Tobacco International and Imperial Brands are known as “Big Tobacco”. The Big 4 and its subsidiaries, or branches it operates globally, are the driving force behind the popularity of disposable vapes. Disposable vapes today range from tiny Juul-shaped devices to large-capacity devices that fill the user's hand and give thousands of puffs. While all products contain rechargeable lithium ion cells, only those with more than a day's worth of e-liquid include built-in USB connectors that allow users to recharge them till the liquid runs out. As disposable vape pens become more appealing to consumers, innovation has also led to exponential growth. Expansion in the disposable vape market represents opportunity for both consumers and companies. Each group can benefit from the advancements in disposable vape technology and the inherent advantages. The steady growth of technology will result in a continuous improvement of the items offered to consumers.
