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.



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.
