South Korea E-Cigarette Industry Trends and Drivers:
South Korea's e-cigarette market is alive as more people embrace vaping as a healthier alternative to traditional cigarettes. Many consumers want to reduce the harmful effects of tobacco. E-cigarettes offer less exposure to harmful chemicals and less nicotine and the ability to select their preferred nicotine level. The sleekness of the e-cigarette devices and wide variety of flavors, including mint and fruit amalgamations, appeals to younger adults, long-time smokers and smokers in general. By promoting that e-cigarettes provide a cleaner experience than traditional cigarettes (although e-cigs still possess nicotine and other harmful substances), manufacturers have positioned e-cigs as a cleaner, modern, and less invasive product. This phenomenon coincides with South Korea's increased emphasis on wellness and personal wellness, as well as a shift toward a cleaner lifestyle. Changes in smoking habits spark curiosity and are fueling the market as consumers give a whirl on the modern version of smoking.
The health-aware movement is changing the way e-cigarettes are incorporated into daily life in South Korea. Vapers like being able to control their nicotine strength, and for some consumers they don't even have to be exposed to any nicotine levels at all. It's still possible to feel better about a variety of options. Public awareness of the risks of smoking has fueled a move away from using cigarettes - the non-smoky, non-odorous, and freshness of e-cigarettes provides a welcome alternative in urban life in Seoul. E-cigarette brands are marketing enough different devices with enough variety that it's unlikely to be a fad. They essentially produce long skinny plastic pens, pocket-sized pods resembling a 'new i-pod' or other aspirational devices. In addition to the more convenient and eclectic products endorsed by owners and consumers alike, North East Asian doctors who are interested in wellness, along with social influencers are continuing to push the conversation in the right direction to allow some health minded consumers to consider vaping as a replacement for cigarettes. In addition, people in South Korea are making a conscious and mindful, health-focused transition away from the stigma of smoking, which combined with the pandemic, has opened opportunities for the growth of the e-cigarette industry in every form imaginable.
