PROSPECTS

Ministry of Health launches campaign highlighting potential health risks of vaping

E-vapour products are becoming increasingly popular in Costa Rica, both as an alternative to cigarettes and as a cessation aid for smokers. Key to their success is the common perception that they are less harmful to health than traditional tobacco products.

Economic downturn and price competition cause current value sales to decline

After growing strongly earlier in the review period, e-vapour products current value sales declined sharply in 2018. This was primarily due to intense price competition and a downturn in the Costa Rican economy.

Performance, convenience and novel flavours will remain focal points for innovation

E-vapour products is still at a relatively early stage of development in Costa Rica, hence the category should continue to witness frequent new launches over the forecast period. In particular, companies are expected to introduce open vaping systems that provide higher levels of functionality, convenience and portability at reasonable prices.

COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE

Revolution Vapor maintains its dominant position in e-vapour products

Revolution Vapor remained the dominant player in e-vapour products in value terms in 2018. This retailer has a strong early mover advantage in the category, and benefits from high brand awareness among consumers.

Greater consolidation expected in e-liquids

E-liquids looks set to become more consolidated over the forecast period, as many small players offering lower quality brands are expected to exit the category. This will be partly due to their inability to compete with the value-for-money propositions of popular brands that are sold in larger pack sizes of up to 120ml.

Leading cigarette producers likely to launch heated tobacco and e-vapour products

Heated tobacco products look set to appear in Costa Rica over the forecast period, with Philip Morris expected to introduce its IQOS device. However, it will only do so if and when there is greater clarity as to the regulatory status of such products in the country.
