Domestic and foreign e-cigarette market size

China’s e-cigarette industry is one of the representative industries that grew against the trend during the epidemic. China’s e-cigarette market size will reach 116 billion CNY in 2021, a year-on-year increase of 170%. In 2023, when Chinese e-cigarette manufacturers are going overseas one after another, the global disposable e-cigarette market will usher in a big explosion.

What is electronic cigarette

According to the definition of e-cigarettes in the “E-Cigarette Management Regulations”, e-cigarettes refer to electronic transmission products that produce aerosols containing nicotine for smoking. E-cigarettes include cartridges, smoking sets, and products sold in combination with cartridges and smoking sets.

Atomized e-cigarettes can be divided into open e-cigarettes and There are two major categories of closed e-cigarettes. Currently, e-cigarettes on the market are mainly atomized e-cigarette products.

The electronic cigarette filter cotton is placed in the middle of the electronic cigarette, which can guide oil. When installed at the mouthpiece, it can be used to filter excess oil residue and absorb condensate. It has good lipophilicity and adsorption effect. There is an atomizer component inside the electronic cigarette. The e-liquid will be heated and atomized after passing through the electronic heating element, and then form a vapor similar to traditional cigarettes. It is used like ordinary cigarettes. During the atomization process, the smoke encounters the air. Expansion and condensation will produce condensate. In order to prevent it from flowing back into the mouth and affecting the taste, the e-cigarette absorbent cotton comes into play.

Automated production of filter cotton

The rapid development of the e-cigarette industry has brought about the demand for large-scale production of e-cigarette filter cotton. The quality and production process of filter cotton are crucial to user experience and health. With the continuous advancement of technology, automated production equipment has been widely used in the manufacturing of electronic cigarette filter cotton.

Automated production lines do not require manual labor to directly participate in the production process, minimizing labor costs while achieving continuous and efficient production. In addition, the automated production process can ensure product consistency and stability through strict quality inspection systems and precise control technology. According to the set specifications and standards, automated production can provide high-quality products, reduce the defective rate, and meet market needs more effectively. Hengyao e-cigarette filter cotton manufacturing machine is a fully automated production process that can solve the production problems of different manufacturers and is worthy of choice and trust.

In the future, driven by the continuous advancement of technology, automated production equipment will continue to be improved and play a more important role in the manufacturing of e-cigarette filter cotton.
