The “E-Cigarette Market Report: South Africa” report has been recently added to ResearchAndMarkets.com’s reports’ archive.
This report offers an overview of the market situation in South Africa. In 2021 the market share was reported to be 10% higher than 2020, and this could be due to a reported popularity of disposable e-cigarettes.
Independent vape retailers are currently positive about the future, however the possibility of further restrictions concerns them.
The new Control of Tobacco Products and Electronic Delivery Systems Bill, first announced in May 2020 by Deputy Health Minister Joe Phaahla, has been going through a review process. It would prohibit smoking in public spaces, and also set in place stricter e-cigarettes regulations, that include restrictions on the use, marketing, and sales of certain tobacco products. Moreover, it would set in place a provision allowing the government to implement a “100% public cigarette ban”.
