According to Stern News: Disposable vape sales in Germany have significantly decreased compared to the past. According to industry forecasts, it is expected to be only 15% by the end of 2024 and about 10% next year.
The Tobacco-Free Alliance (BFTG) spoke at the Dortmund Tobacco Trade Fair. Industry representatives said that companies are preparing for a ban on the sale of non-reusable devices in 2027. On the other hand, stores are increasingly offering reusable devices, which have price advantages for consumers through cartridge replacement equipment and oil bottle filling.
Criticism of disposable vape products, which often have eye-catching color designs and are particularly popular among young people, environmental enthusiasts are critical of disposable products because they waste raw materials and pollute the environment.
Horst Winkler of the vape Trade Association (VDEH) said that professional stores Jianye customers adopt sustainable replacement devices and stay away from disposable vapes. “We have achieved great success in this regard.” He expects the sales of disposable vapes to continue to decline, but warned that the number of black markets is increasing, among which disposable vapes are already sold on a large scale. He called on the state to take decisive action to put an end to the development of the black market.
From this Dortmund Tobacco Exhibition, it can be seen that disposable vape products have been significantly reduced. Selim, managing director of the German subsidiary of the Chinese vape manufacturer, said that the company is still offering disposable vapes, but will stop selling them at the end of this year. At the same time, it promotes reusable devices at the booth. The company hopes to use these devices to increase business next year. At the same time, he said that the prospects are good and customers are also turning to reusable devices because it makes more sense.
Supplier Gold Bar promoted its disposable products on a large scale at the Dortmund Tobacco Exhibition last year, and now it is attending the industry conference again, and now it has also launched reusable devices. Competitor Elfbar has also taken a similar approach: disposable products can still be purchased at its booth, but company representatives describe them as “old products.” “The future is refillable,” she said, pointing to the corresponding new products.
Under this trend, Veehoo vape, as one of the industry leaders, is actively adapting to market changes. Veehoo vape’s reusable product line has been widely promoted, providing consumers with more environmentally friendly and affordable options.
Similarly, suppliers Gold Bar and competitor Elfbar are also adapting to market trends. Their shift from large-scale promotion of disposable products to promotion of reusable devices reflects the growing market demand for sustainable alternatives. This shift provides opportunities for companies such as Veehoo vape, who are committed to providing products that are more in line with environmental trends and lead the direction of market development.
As consumers’ awareness of environmental protection increases and the industry pursues sustainable development, Veehoo vape will continue to play a leading role in this market change, providing consumers with more environmentally friendly and sustainable vape product options.
