Market Landscape
Pakistan’s vape industry remains largely open, offering significant potential for businesses. Many international and local brands have yet to penetrate the market, leaving room for new players to establish themselves in this growing sector.

Retail Presence
In Islamabad alone, there are over 20 vape shops, with even more in major cities like Karachi and Lahore. This highlights growing consumer interest across urban areas.

Popular Brands and Flavors
Brands like IVG, Tokyo, Sluggers, and VGOD are popular, but the market lacks diversity in international offerings. Flavors likePineapple, Watermelon, and Strawberry are in high demand, with customization a notable trend.

Regulatory Environment
The regulatory framework for vaping in Pakistan is evolving, with recent restrictions signaling a shift toward stricter controls:

· Age Restrictions: Sales to individuals under 21 are prohibited in some regions.

· Public Usage Bans: Vaping is banned in public spaces and transport in certain areas.

· Advertising and Proximity Rules: Promotions are limited, and sales near schools, hospitals, and parks are restricted.

Despite these developments, Pakistan remains a relatively easy-entry market with fewer barriers than many other countries. Businesses can establish themselves early and take advantage of a growing consumer base, provided they stay proactive with compliance measures.
