The U.S. e-liquid market has experienced significant growth in recent years. In 2024, the market generated around $600 million in revenue. Projections indicate by 2027, this figure could reach around $1,109.7 million, reflecting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.3% from 2022 to 2027.

Notably, the U.S. is the largest e-liquid market in the world, driven by its vast and diverse consumer base, high disposable incomes, and early adoption of vaping as a smoking alternative. The market's size and influence make it a focal point for innovation and competition within the global vaping industry.

 

Marketing - Digital only:

Our thoughts:

The U.S. market is the most competitive in the world.

To enter the market or gain a bigger share (if you are established already) requires you to have:

· More flavors

· Richer flavors,

· Unique flavors.


Novelty with the right marketing is the key for those willing to take risks.

Partnering up with the right supplier, to outsource your production is another logical way to be highly competitive.
