Why Chinese Vape Manufacture Suppliers Decreased Recent Years

When you are looking for Chinese vape suppliers, you can find suppliers that are very suitable for you through vape exhibitions, made-in-china.com website, Google search, and other methods.

During the 2019 pandemic, there was a surge in vapes. Chinese vape enterprises (including vape factories/vape brands/vape traders) have all experienced a sales boom. Some companies have achieved a leap from small-scale to industry-leading. This also attracted the attention of capital.
The means of capital companies are very simple: establish a new vape company and directly hire experienced positions in the industry with high salaries. The common understanding is: Recruit from competitors. And at the same time, invest in multiple vape factories and vape brand enterprises.
This has led to over 10000 enterprises engaged in the vape industry in China from 2020 to 2022.

Why do I write this article today? Because I saw the vape Instagram account that was operated by me in a former vape manufacturer four years ago. Then I carefully reviewed all the Facebook, Twitter (X), and LinkedIn accounts. After I posted my last update, those accounts haven’t been updated again. Yes, you understand correctly, that company went bankrupt.
Due to oversupply in the market, many vape companies will go bankrupt from 2023 to 2025. Some of them are trading companies.
Many businesses are running very poorly, for specific reasons, please refer to my upcoming article tomorrow: The Decline Of Vape Companies May Be Due To Of Pseudo Executives
Return to the main topic, when choosing suppliers this year, you may have noticed that the Vaper Expo October 2025, an vape exhibition held in Birmingham, UK in October, has been cancelled. I have reported on this before: Vaper Expo UK October 2025 Is Cancelled And Postpone To 2026
I believe the reason for its cancellation is due to the small number of exhibitors.

The B2B platform of made-in-china.com has an annual membership fee of 150000 RMB for electronic cigarette companies, which is approximately 21000 USD per year. When business is good, it can be invested. But when the market is not good, many companies dare not invest such a huge amount of money, and coupled with labor costs, they may not be able to obtain reports.
Taking into account various factors, there are now many fewer vape companies. So when you are looking for Chinese vape suppliers, you can consider some traditional electronic cigarette factories and try to find factories with lower minimum order quantities.
