In 2023, VAPE FAIR was a resounding success with 354 brands presenting their offerings across a 10,766 square meter exhibition space and welcoming 12,205 industry professionals from 26 countries. The 2024 edition is anticipated to build on this success, featuring an array of leading e-cigarette brands, e-liquid manufacturers, accessory suppliers and raw material producers.

 

The e-cigarette industry in Indonesia is on a trajectory of impressive growth, with a market share of USD 400 million in 2023 and a steady 2.22% CAGR. This growth is fuelled by Indonesia’s progressive regulatory environment and the increasing consumer preference for tobacco alternatives. VAPE FAIR 2024 will continue to serve as the largest e-cigarette event in Asia, providing industry professionals with a unique opportunity to explore emerging trends and establish new business relationships.

JTI Research Finds 31% of UK Respondents Offered Illicit Tobacco, While 63% of Ennis Packs Lack Duty Marks
Multiple JTI-backed studies in the UK and Ireland indicate that illicit tobacco remains visible across consumer interactions and local markets. In the UK, JTI research found that 31% of respondents said they had been offered illicit tobacco products. In Ireland’s Ennis area, a JTI-commissioned empty pack survey found that 63% of sampled cigarette packs did not carry Irish duty-paid markings. The findings come from industry research rather than official government estimates of illicit tobacco market size, but highlight continued concerns among regulators, legitimate retailers and tobacco companies over illicit trade.

Australia’s One Nation Proposes 75% Tobacco Tax Cut, Says Lower Prices Could Hit Illicit Market
Australia’s One Nation Proposes 75% Tobacco Tax Cut, Says Lower Prices Could Hit Illicit Market
Australia’s One Nation party has proposed cutting tobacco excise by 75%, arguing that lower legal cigarette prices could narrow the gap with illicit tobacco and reduce demand for black-market products. The proposal comes as Australia continues expanding enforcement against illicit tobacco supply chains through border controls, retail inspections and organised-crime investigations. Supporters argue high taxes have contributed to illicit-market growth, while opponents warn that lower tobacco prices could undermine public-health goals. The proposal is a party policy position and has not been adopted by the Australian government.
