Kondor, a global channel partner and distributor of consumer electronic accessories into high street retail, online, mass merchant and B2C, today announced an agreement with Aspire eCig UK, a leading supplier of high quality, vaping products.

David Frampton, Kondor, head of category said, “Consumers want the opportunity to purchase vaping devices and accessories from a range of outlets that are convenient to their lifestyles. The vast majority of sales currently go through specialist vapestores or on-line. Therefore, there is a clear market opportunity with strong repeat business for refillables which retailers and etailers want to service, and we are pleased to be distributing these products from a trusted supplier.”

The UK is the second largest e-cigarette market with over 3.2 million adult vapers according to YouGov₁ and estimated to be worth £177 million with 11.5 per cent growth in the last year (Nielson, Q3 2018)₂. In addition, analysts Technavio₃ forecast the e-cigarette market in the UK will grow at a CAGR close to 30 per cent between 2018 and 2022 driven by the premise that e-cigarettes are considered safer than other tobacco products.

Kondor will supply the Aspire PockeX, AVP, Breeze 2, Tigon, Zelos, Nautilus AIO and X30 Rover kits, the highly rated aspire coils as well as an outstanding range of UK-manufactured e-liquids.

Ash Heaton, Aspire eCig UK, MD, said, “As a leading provider, we bring the latest ground-breaking e-cigarette technology, offering a high quality choice of vaping experience from a renowned brand. Kondor has the means to increase the availability of our products to a wider market and enable us to grow our market share.”
