Online retail report: open systems dominate in Canada

As world authorities are attempting to manage the COVID-19 pandemic, the effects on e-cigarette sales channels are mixed. In Italy, one of the most affected countries, specialist vaping stores remained open. In Canada, the legal situation is significantly less favourable. For instance, in March, only Alberta included vape shops in the list of essential services during lockdown. In other provinces, where it is legal, the sales shifted online. ECigIntelligence decided to take a closer look at the Canadian online channel. This report analyses the data from our brand trackers which includes the top five Canadian online retailers.
