A growing demand for healthier and more discreet cannabis consumption will continue to fuel the vaporizer market, a new report says.

“Consumers seeking a smoother, less irritating experience are turning to vaporizers as an alternative to joints, pipes, and bongs, says a news release touting Research and Market’s Cannabis Vaporizers – Global Strategic Business Report.

The Dublin-based company issued a series of reports on the cannabis industry recently. The reports cost a lot of money to buy — $6,000 generally — but do come with updates for year.

The vaping market, estimated at US$5.7 billion in 2025, will grow by 15% a year to reach $15.7 billion by 2032, the report predicts.

The vaping boom will be led by younger consumers, the 169-page report says.

“Additionally, the rise of portable, user-friendly vape devices has made cannabis consumption more convenient, further driving market demand,” the news release says.

“Health-conscious consumers prefer vaping over smoking due to its perceived lower health risks and improved flavor profiles.”

Not to mention, vapes are now sleek, high-tech devices.

“Technological advancements have transformed cannabis vaporizers into sophisticated devices offering precision control, enhanced battery life, and customizable temperature settings. Smart vaporizers equipped with Bluetooth connectivity allow users to monitor usage and adjust heating settings via mobile apps.”

Luxury vapes with even more features are also a growing market segment, the report says.
