Following a landmark debut in 2025, World Vape Show South Africa returns in 2027 - bigger, bolder, and built for business.
The inaugural edition in South Africa set a new benchmark for the African vape industry, delivering two high-impact days of trade, networking, and innovation. Leading international and regional brands connected with distributors, retailers, and industry decision-makers from across Africa and beyond, establishing the show as a trusted platform for serious B2B engagement.
Building on this momentum, World Vape Show and World Tobacco will take place together in Johannesburg - bringing two powerhouse events under one roof!
On 2-3 April 2027, this landmark co‑location creates a single, unified platform for the vape, next-gen nicotine, and tobacco sectors across Africa, unlocking broader networks, and creating greater commercial opportunity for everyone operating in this fast‑evolving market.

South Africa has one of the fastest-growing vape markets on the African continent, with a surge in consumer demand and retail expansion.
As the most industrialized and connected country in Africa, South Africa serves as a strategic entry point for brands looking to access the broader African market.
A flourishing network of vape shops, distributors, and online retailers across major cities makes it easier for brands to connect with potential partners and buyers.
While evolving, South Africa's regulatory environment is currently more accessible than in many other regions, offering opportunities for early movers.
Many regions remain underserved, presenting strong prospects for new business partnerships and market expansion.
The unique thing I find about World Vape Show is that because there's an exhibition and there's the conference together, you get to meet different kinds of stakeholders. You get to connect with stakeholders from different parts like distributors, retailers, regulatory partners. That's the one thing I think is the best.
I would say that the World Vape Show is the ultimate show. It gives us an opportunity to meet so many clients and prospects in the industry. We release new products here to maximize the potential of those products to be seen and tried by as many different people as possible.
It's just been brilliant. World Vape Show is where it's at. It will give you the platform to really grow your brand as long as you're willing to put in the effort.
World Vape Show, it's the top of the line. It's on a whole other echelon. We're able to launch all our new products here to showcase them all over the world, it's been very beneficial.
