Smokers become more price-sensitive, while e-cigarettes redefine the market

With rising prices due to government policies and the inflation rate, price became the main determinant of purchasing tobacco products, especially for cigarettes, which continued to dominate the local tobacco market. Consumers’ preference for well-known brands at a premium price has been changing to local brands or niche brands with more acceptable prices and reasonable quality.

The rise in excise tax has led to a change in the smoking population and brand loyalty

From the government’s perspective, increasing the excise tax on tobacco was done to supply funds for long-term care. However, the 20-30% rise in retail price has impacted the tobacco market in several ways.

Regulation to completely ban e-vapour products has passed its first reading

In addition to the illicit trade in cigarettes, e-vapour products have been widely sold through diverse channels in recent years. Strong debates over whether to ban e-vapour products have taken place in Taiwan, which has made the approval processes of the proposal to amend the Tobacco Hazards Prevention Act take even longer.

Heated tobacco products are on the rise without specific laws governing them

An increasing number of people in Taiwan are learning about the differences between e-vapour cigarettes and heated tobacco. With their high levels of popularity in Taiwan, even without having any legal retail channels, they have been attracting the government’s attention.

Teenage smokers increased notably up to 2016 but have been in decline since then

Taiwanese teenagers enjoy trying out new things, and e-cigarettes, with their wide range of flavours, are highly attractive to this age group. In addition, peer pressure is another important driver for teenagers to try e-cigarettes.
