Europe stands at the forefront of the legal scenario of the global e-cigarette market with a series of laws and regulations for e-cigarette and e-liquid manufacturing, sales, distribution, advertising, and marketing. When disposable e-cigarettes entered the market in the form of ‘cig-a-likes’, market estimations were never targeted towards estimating the size of e-liquid market. However, owing to the introduction of second and third generation e-cigarettes, the e-liquid market has gained momentum, especially when users can refill their e-cigarettes themselves. As a result of increasing competition and growing consumer demand for different e-liquid flavors, the European e-liquid market is poised to grow over $11 billion by the end of the forecast period.
The e-liquid market in Europe is being driven by an increasing number of vape shops that are opening up in different countries. However, owing to the anticipated taxes that might be imposed on the sales of e-cigarettes and e-liquids many of these shops might actually exit from the market. Moreover, newer players are resorting to online distribution channels since brick-and-mortar shops require capital investments such as rent and other infrastructure set-up.
The prevalent distribution channels in Europe are online and retail. The e-liquid players either operate through their own brands or sell their products through online supermarkets and e-commerce websites. The retail channel is comprised of convenience stores, pharmacies, tobacco shops, and vape shops among others. Even after the regulatory framework takes shape, the retail outlets will continue to generate increasing revenue for the market. However, the ease of procuring and choosing e-liquids from the wide variety that online resellers offer will enable the distribution channel to grow at a CAGR of 26.26% through the forecast period.
