According to reports, the IECIE exhibition is moving overseas for the first time, choosing a venue in the rapidly developing Southeast Asian market. With the rapid growth of the global electronic vapor market in recent years, Southeast Asia has become a "new favorite" of the industry due to its population and market potential. According to Euromonitor data, it is expected that the total electronic vapor market in Southeast Asia will grow by 29% to reach $766 million by 2023. Indonesia, as the second-largest tobacco market in Asia, has 56.3 million tobacco product users, and its electronic vapor market value reached $239 million in 2021. It is a relatively mature market in Southeast Asia, and is expected to continue to grow.


The exhibition will take place at the Jakarta International Expo in Indonesia, covering an area of over 12,000 square meters. It will showcase a variety of electronic cigarettes and other products within the industry chain, attracting an estimated 10,000 visitors. More than 100 exhibitors, including well-known electronic cigarette brands such as Yooz, Yogi, SnowPlus, Laimi and Smoore, will be participating. Some of these brands will launch new products during the exhibition.


The IECIE Indonesia Jakarta Electronic Cigarette Exhibition will be closely monitored by 2FIRSTS, who will provide live updates throughout the event. The media company has previously reported on high-profile tobacco and e-cigarette expos in Germany, the United States, and the United Kingdom, establishing news centers in London, New York, and Moscow. Based on their professional reporting capabilities, 2FIRSTS will focus on the Southeast Asian e-cigarette market, capturing the latest industry developments and offering reliable sources of information for Chinese e-cigarette companies seeking to expand into Southeast Asia.


As a well-known international exhibition organizer in the industry, IECIE will continue to expand its international reach after the Jakarta exhibition in Indonesia, with upcoming exhibitions to be held in Malaysia, the United States, and other regions. 2FIRSTS, as IECIE's global partner and friendly collaborator, will continue to cover and report on these events.
