The vape market continues to grow and mature, but it also faces growing challenges throughout the supply chain. Big brands in the sector have seen significant counterfeiting attacks, while the rise in unregulated illicit vape products making their way into the retail market continues to blight the reputation of the sector. These challenges pose risks to consumer safety and have far-reaching ramifications on both economic stability and brand reputation for those authentic brands operating within the industry.
Legitimate brands lose revenue due to diversion, pure counterfeiting, refilling and harvesting activities, illicit and unregulated products, as well as the harm done to their brands reputation when substandard products enter the market.
