Executive Summary
APAC has gained a reputation for exporting e-liquids to markets across the global. Traditionally, more than 85% of the e-liquid available globally was manufactured in a single location in China, Shenzhen. However, the increasing popularity of e-cigarettes in Asian nations and growing exports to Western markets have propelled the growth of market in other countries. A large number of e-liquid manufacturers have emerged in markets of Malaysia, Philippines and Indonesia in recent years. Moreover, the e-cigarette boom in APAC region has e-liquid manufacturers to create flavors catering to local tastes. Some of the popular home grown flavors include lychee, a tropical fruit popular in South East Asia, salak, a Malaysian native fruit and mango lassi, a yogurt based drink, along with vapor versions of local sweets such as cendol.
Owing to the fragmented nature of the market, non-uniformity of the regulatory framework and absence of any big players, the APAC e-liquid market currently makes up only a meagre share of the global market and is valued at $XX million. Since rechargeable e-cigarettes currently dominate market, the revenue generation from prefilled e-liquid in cartridges, amounting to $XX million, largely exceeds the sale of bottle e-liquid, which amounts to $XX million in 2015. However, since personal vaporizers will witness an increasing demand and become the largest revenue generating vaping devices by the end of the forecast period, the sales of bottled e-liquid used in such devices will grow, exceeding the sale of prefilled devices by 2025.
Despite having gained significant traction in certain countries in the region, the market is still at an incipient stage. Some of the factors driving the growth of the industry in the APAC region are mentioned are Increase in the smoking population and lookout for less harmful alternatives, pricing and cost effectiveness of e-liquid and emergence of vape shops and diversity in the distribution channels. With a slack regulatory regime and deep seated smoking habit entrenched in majority of its population, APAC has massive potential to turn into the hub for e-cigarettes. However, there are several factors impeding the growth of the market and preventing it from flourishing. Some of the challenges being faced by the industry are non-uniformity of regulatory framework and rise in counterfeit products.
