Competitive Landscape

British American Tobacco Plc. held the largest market share of the overall e-cigarette market in 2017 and strengthened its position with the acquisition of Reynolds American Inc. However, the Competition Commission blocked British American Tobacco (BAT) SA’s plans to expand into e-cigarettes in SA, with the acquisition of the Twisp, a vaping company, and has prevented the deal on the grounds that it would substantially lessen competition, impacting the company’s position. The company is subject to significantly increased competition, with Phillip Morris International, joining the vaping trend and encouraging smokers to switch to new generation devices that were claimed to be healthier in some regions. Over the past decade, Marlboro, one of the leading cigarette brands,  invested USD 4.5 billion in R&D, in order to develop advanced technology. The firm has also filed patents, with more than 3,400 granted and over 5,000 pending.
