In order to meet the customization needs for localization and assist clients in deepening their presence in the US market, Zinwi conducted research on the US market and carried out in-depth studies of popular local flavors.
1. Market growth in the US
The US is the largest vape market in the world, and its trends often influence the global market. In recent years, the market has experienced rapid growth due to the popularity of disposable products.
2. Regulatory Environment
Despite federal regulatory restrictions, the market continues to expand. Disposable vape primarily feature fruit flavors, but currently only tobacco-flavored products have received PMTA approval. In addition to federal restrictions, it is expected that local taxation and flavor limits will continue to be introduced. There is also intense debate surrounding the issues of "youth protection and sustainable development," which will continue to impact the regulatory environment in the future.
3. Retail Channels
Online retail is an important channel. Vape stores have diversified their product ranges to compensate for product line losses caused by increased competition from PMTA and non-specialty stores (especially those selling disposable products).
4. Competing Products
Tobacco-free nicotine pouches are gaining popularity, and with the entry of more and more new brands into the US market, both online and offline vape retailers are selling these pouches. These products, as well as heated tobacco products like IQOS, may have a significant impact on the future of the vape industry in the US.
