Welcome to the World Vape Show South Africa!

Join us at the World Vape Show in South Africa, where industry leaders, manufacturers, suppliers, and consumers come together to explore the latest products, innovations, and trends in the vaping world. Having successfully hosted vaping/e-cigarette industry events around the world and hosting industry-leading manufacturers and suppliers of vape products, we are happy to announce the launch of our show in South Africa!

Market Overview

In South Africa, the use of e-cigarettes and vaping products has been on the rise, particularly among the youth. Recent surveys indicate that 11.3% of adults in urban areas have tried e-cigarettes, with 4% being regular users. This trend is especially pronounced among teenagers, with around 23% of learners reportedly unable to go through a school day without vaping. The primary reasons cited for vaping among young people include stress, anxiety, and curiosity about the appealing flavors of e-cigarettes.

The market for e-cigarettes in South Africa is growing significantly. In 2023, the market generated revenue of approximately USD 62.4 million and is projected to reach USD 100.7 million by 2030, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.2%. The increase in e-cigarette use is accompanied by rising concerns about nicotine addiction, particularly among the younger population aged 16 to 34.

Regulatory Landscape

In response to these trends, the South African government has introduced the Control of Tobacco Products and Electronic Delivery Systems Bill, which seeks to impose stricter regulations on the use, marketing, and sale of e-cigarettes and vaping products. The bill aims to address public health concerns by reducing exposure to nicotine and limiting the appeal of these products to young people.

The vaping industry in South Africa is also facing potential challenges from proposed legislation, which includes tighter advertising restrictions and possible public smoking bans. Despite these regulatory moves, the industry is expected to continue its growth, driven by a shift from traditional smoking to vaping as a perceived less harmful alternative.
