PROSPECTS

New legislation makes e-vapour products more expensive and limited in scope and distribution

With the changes effective since 1 January 2018, the e-vapour products category is now subject to excise tax plus 30% of the maximum wholesale price. This legislation was introduced to eliminate unfair competition, with the category having benefited from more liberal regulations up to 2018.

Sales are being chipped away by high and rising prices, a lack of brick-and-mortar stores and increasing illicit trade

The main reason behind the decline in the number of vapers is the steep entry price into the category, EUR15-90. Young smokers are unwilling to pay a very high price for a vaping device but at the same time do not want to buy the cheapest available due to concerns about poor performance and possible health risks.

Heated tobacco products remain unavailable in Estonia for now

Heated tobacco products are still not available in Estonia, with legal restrictions preventing their arrival. The possibility of their introduction is difficult to ascertain given the country’s change of government in 2019, with future policies still to be clarified.

COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE

The leading retailers merge, ensuring wide distribution and options

Sales leader of e-vapour products Elgery Group merged with rival Nicorex Baltic OÜ in 2018. As a result, Nicorex became the largest vaping retailer in the market.

Sales remain limited to urbanites and will be hampered by online sales ban

The stronger development of e-vapour products has been limited by a lack of retail penetration, with specialist vape shops operating only in large cities. Retailers do not have much interest in the provinces as their expensive products do not generally appeal to lower-income rural dwellers.

Producers lose a major advantage as flavours are outlawed

Another major threat to the expansion of e-vapour products is the ban on flavours. The Tobacco Act, as of July 2019, now limits e-liquids to a tobacco flavour only.
