With the global e-cigarette and vape market expected to exceed $59 billion by 2027, the vaping industry appears to have weathered a cloud of scrutiny and is emerging better regulated and even stronger. Much of that growth stems from an increasing awareness of the advantages of consuming smokeless and ashless nicotine, backed up with growing studies. Although larger tobacco companies control a large share of the global e-cigarette and vape market, smaller elite players such as Kaival Brands Innovations Group Inc. (OTCQB: KAVL) (KAVL Profile) are making their presence felt in a space where innovation and compliance are essential factors for success. Kaival Brands is the sole distributor of Bidi(TM) Stick, an innovative nicotine vaping device designed to provide adult smokers with a premium vaping experience. Philip Morris International Inc. (NYSE: PM) has launched a next-generation, e-vapor product platform called IQOS MESH. Imperial Brands (OTCQX: IMBBY) is focusing on providing a portfolio of high-quality, next-generation products that are potentially less harmful than combustible cigarettes, including its pioneering vapor brand, blu. British American Tobacco Industries (NYSE: BTI) has welcomed the FDA guidance as a further step toward a sustainable regulatory environment for the U.S. vapor market. And Turning Point Brands (NYSE: TPB) has focused on operating its vaping business at smaller but still profitable levels.
