Global E-cigarette Market 2015-2019: Key Vendors are Altria Group,British American Tobacco, Imperial Tobacco Group, NJOY & Reynolds American
M2 - Mon Jan 05, 8:25AM CST
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/hv4qx4/global) has announced the addition of the "Global E-cigarette Market 2015-2019" report to their offering. The analysts forecast Global E-cigarette market to grow at a CAGR of 24.14 percent over the period 2014-2019. This report covers the present scenario and the growth prospects of the Global E-cigarette market for the period 2015-2019. To calculate the market size, the report considers revenue generated from sales of e-cigarettes (first, second, and third generation) and related products such as cartridges, refills, and e-liquids. The market forecast is based on the understanding that e-cigarette sales during the forecast period may not be affected by socio-political and legal dynamics worldwide. One major trend emerging in the market is the shift toward vaping instead of smoking. The market is witnessing increased adoption of vapor mods/units among vapers. This is expected to affect the revenue of cigalike vendors during the forecast period of 2014-2019. According to the report, the increased desire among consumers to quit smoking tobacco is one of the major drivers of the market. The increase in the number of deaths caused by smoking-related cancer has encouraged people to stop smoking traditional cigarette and this has increased the adoption of e-cigarettes among smokers worldwide. Further, the report states that one key challenge that the market faces is the stringent government regulations and standards. Recently, the US FDA imposed regulations that ban the sale of e-cigarettes to people under the age of 18. The ASA and the CAP have introduced stringent advertising regulations in the UK.
