Over the forecast period, the increased emphasis on adopting safer alternatives to smoking is expected to promote the use of e-cigarettes and vape devices. In the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, e-cigarette and vape sellers have implemented a number of COVID-19-based marketing methods to boost product sales. As e-cigarette and vape device supplies grew scarce in physical stores, sellers began selling their items through online platforms and gave away hand sanitizers &face masks as freebies with the purchase of vaping products. For example, vaping companies like One Drop Vape, BLVK, and Podsalt began providing free hand sanitizers with the purchase of their goods.This was a crucial driver that impacted the market growth during the pandemic and is projected to remain so in the post-pandemic future. Such developments drive the electronic cigarette market.

Since 2016, the e-cigarette and vape market has grown significantly as devices have gotten more efficient in terms of battery life and the amount of flavors offered. Furthermore, a wide range of flavors, including menthol, tobacco, fruits &nuts, and chocolate are available in the market, which attract a significant number of clients. When used in an e-cigarette or a vape device, these flavors emanate fragrances. Furthermore, the decreased cost-effectiveness of these devices has increased customer acceptance and is likely to fuel market expansion during the projection period.

In recent years, market participants have placed an emphasis on raising knowledge of e-cigarettes and vape devices, particularly among adult smokers. JUUL Labs, Inc., for example, launched a marketing campaign in January 2019 to educate adult smokers about the negative effects of traditional combustible cigarettes and encourage them to switch to e-cigarettes & vape devices. During the forecast period, such marketing strategies are expected to boost market expansion.
