China's e-cigarette exports are expected to remain above 10 billion yuan by 2025, while the US-dominated market landscape is showing new changes.

Recently, the General Administration of Customs of China released data on e-cigarette exports in 2025, showing that the total export value reached  US$10.598 billion . Although this represents a 3.31% decrease compared to US$10.961 billion in 2024 , it still remains firmly above the US$10 billion mark, demonstrating the industry's strong resilience.

I. Overall Export Situation and Monthly Trends

From an annual perspective, although China's e-cigarette exports declined slightly in 2025, the fundamental scale of tens of billions of US dollars remained unchanged. Looking at the monthly export trends, distinct phased characteristics emerge:

• February exports totaled less than $500 million, the lowest point of the year;
• The economy gradually recovered from March to September, with exports remaining stable in the range of $800-900 million.
• The export volume strengthened significantly in the fourth quarter, with exports reaching US$1.098 billion and US$1.096 billion in October and November respectively, marking the peak of exports for the year and providing key support for the stability of the overall export volume throughout the year.
• December exports fell to $974 million, down 3.67% year-on-year and 11.09% month-on-month.
