Scope of this Report

The year 2014 marked its significance in the e-cigarette industry timeline, recording some major acquisitions, patent warfare, changing regulations, and technologically advanced product launches. While yet another tobacco giant, Imperial Tobacco revealed its agreement with Reynolds American to acquire Blu Ecigs to enter the U.S. market; the European market was bombarded with a set of stringent regulations, to come into effect by May 2016.

BIS Research analysis of the industry suggests that e cigarette is yet to gain a wide scale acceptance in the APAC (Asia Pacific) region. APAC, with countries such as China and India is home to the largest producers and consumers of tobacco products and the conversion of even a small percentage of smokers to vapers is expected to bring about significant revenue flow from these countries. In spite of being ranked lower in the global e-cigarette market revenue generation, China is currently the manufacturing hub, exporting more than 80% of the e-cigarettes and accessories produced to the U.S. and the European markets.
