Top 4 E-Cigarette Trends for 2024

In the European market, environmental issues have become an important factor restricting the development of the disposable e-cigarette industry, government departments and consumers have gradually realized that e-cigarettes are destructive to the environment. Therefore, for e-cigarette brands, on the one hand, to promote the waste e-cigarette recycling services, on the other hand, to promote the design and production of environmentally friendly e-cigarettes, perhaps more in line with the current trend of the European market.

At present, many domestic manufacturers have environmental e-cigarette program, such as Simole, Joly Energy, etc. It is expected that in 2024, as the European government departments and consumers of e-cigarettes environmental protection issues of the controversy is getting bigger and bigger, there will be more and more manufacturers to follow up on the application of environmentally friendly and biodegradable materials, such as PLA, PBAT and other e-cigarettes packaging, casing and other aspects of the application.

In 2023, thanks to the advantages of cheap price, variety of flavors and easy to carry, disposable e-cigarettes exploded in Europe, North America, the Middle East, Russia and other markets, which also made the government departments speed up the progress of regulation of disposable e-cigarettes. At the same time, due to the disposable e-cigarettes used up to throw away the characteristics of the environmental issues raised concerns, there are constantly environmentalists to attack the disposable e-cigarettes.

Especially in Europe, under the double pressure of regulation and environmental protection, many manufacturers have begun to take a cautious attitude towards disposable e-cigarettes, and started to lay out the replacement bullet e-cigarettes, such as Hanqingda, Skoal, ANYX and so on. It is expected that the market share of refillable e-cigarettes in Europe, Russia, etc. will grow further in 2024.

In addition, Indonesia and other Southeast Asian countries open oil-filled e-cigarettes are more favored by local consumers, 2023 has been a lot of domestic manufacturers in Southeast Asia layout of bottled tobacco oil, 2024 bottled tobacco oil may win greater growth opportunities.

Microphone is one of the core components of electronic cigarettes, and at present, the most widely used electronic cigarettes are electret microphones, which have the advantages of stable mass production and lower cost. However, with the technological development and industrial upgrading of the e-cigarette industry, the disadvantages of electret microphone heads are gradually highlighted, such as not oil-proof, poor consistency, self-starting problems, poor SMT compatibility.

In order to improve these problems, in recent years, many companies have laid out the development of MEMS integrated microphone head, and is expected to be applied on a large scale in 2024. Compared with the traditional electret microphone head, MEMS integrated microphone head in high temperature resistance, oil resistance, anti-volatility and other performance is more excellent, and can realize automated production consistency is high.

Restricted by the cost and portability, at first the design of disposable e-cigarettes seldom consider some additional features, but in recent years the global market is more and more involution, the product homogenization is serious, any innovation point may make the product become a hit, such as adding a screen to the e-cigarettes that can display the oil level, power and other information.

At present, the cost of e-cigarettes with a screen will not be too big a difference compared to the version without a screen, and it can greatly improve the user experience and add new selling points to the product. 2023 has already launched a number of brands with a screen e-cigarettes, which have been welcomed by some overseas markets, and it is expected that by 2024, there will be more brands to consider the screen with a screen solution, and the size of the screen may be bigger and bigger, and even follow up on the touchable large screen to improve the product Interactive experience.
