Shenzhen, China – From October 7 to 9 of 2022, The Vaper Expo UK, recognized as the largest and most important vaping event in Europe, was successfully held and closed for the 13th time in NEC Birmingham, attracting over 200 exhibitors and 20,000 visitors in total.
The grand opening of the Vaper Expo UK
Some 200 e-cigarette companies worldwide participated in the show as the UK stands second in the global vape market and is seen as the “must-have” of the corporate strategy of all vape companies, including over 70 Chinese brands that came as exhibitors.
However, due to the difficulties and inconvenience caused by the pandemic and geographical distance, some Chinese companies failed to be a part of the show, as the Electronic Cigarette Professional Committee of China Electronics Chamber of Commerce (ECCC) sees the problem. To grasp the opportunity to expand the UK market, and to drive the export of e-cigarette enterprises continuously, the international joint exhibition delegation was co-initiated by ECCC and 2FIRSTS (www.2firsts.com). It went all the way to Birmingham, led by Jason Tian, diplomatic assistant of ECCC and international PR manager of 2FIRSTS. This way, companies need not send their staff but only exhibits away, which is a huge cutoff from their exhibiting budget and a better chance to gain overseas opportunities under the name of ECCC.
4 companies were on the delegation’s list: Shenzhen Huaxinyu Technology Co., Ltd., Shenzhen Itsuwa Technology Inc., Shenzhen Fumot Technology Co., Ltd., and Shenzhen Active Technology Co., Ltd.

IGET and BOU, 2 subordinate brands of the company, presented the show with many products, SHION, KING, LEGEND and NOVA of IGET, and STAR and PRO of BOU. Featuring disposables and pod systems, Huaxinyu gave all visitors a blow.

The Vaper Expo UK is the next stop of the delegation after InterTabac Dortmund. Looking forward, its world tour will set foot on southeast Asia, eastern Europe, the US and so on. Based on the successful experience back in Birmingham and Dortmund, ECCC is proud to provide member companies with high-quality abroad services to fully manifest the advantages and competitiveness of the Chinese e-cigarette companies so as to help them expand their overseas business territory and build a global resilient strategic layout.
Peroration
90% of the world’s e-cigarettes are manufactured in China, where e-cigarettes were born. The “2022 China E-cigarette Industry Export Blue Book” jointly issued by ECCC and 2FIRSTS, shows that in 2022, the expected total size of the global e-cigarette market will exceed $108 billion. In 2021, China’s total e-cigarette exports are expected to reach 186.7 billion RMB in 2022, with a growth rate of 35%.
E-cigarette industry is a highly-anticipated emerging industry, which has become a legal and compliant industry in China; globally speaking, the growing market share of the e-cigarette industry has earned more expectations and attention. In the future, the global e-cigarette industry will forge ahead for more opportunities and write a brilliant chapter.
