Reyeah CEO Mary Huang Sharing Insights On Global E-cigarette Market Trends And Compliance At ECCC 2026

On January 13, 2026, the ELECTRONICS CHAMBER OF COMMERCE CHINA(ECCC) successfully inaugurated its first exclusive member session of the year. Themed "International Market Trends & Compliance Strategies," the summit gathered industry titans, financial experts, and supply chain leaders to navigate a pivotal shift in the global landscape: the era of "Full-Chain Compliance."

As a key committee member and a pioneer in intelligent vending solutions, Reyeah Technology was invited to the forefront of this dialogue. Our CEO, Mary Huang (Ms. Huang Siman), joined a distinguished panel of entrepreneurs to discuss how technological innovation can solve the industry's most pressing regulatory challenges.

Technological Innovation: The New Standard for Compliance

In the face of tightening regulations across Europe, the Americas, and the Middle East, "compliance" has evolved from a legal requirement to a core competitive advantage. During the high-level roundtable discussion, CEO Mary Huang delivered a compelling narrative on how hardware innovation can safeguard the industry's future.

Addressing the critical issue of youth access prevention—a primary concern for global regulators—Ms. Huang highlighted Reyeah's breakthrough in Intelligent Age Verification Systems. Unlike traditional vending machines, Reyeah's next-generation smart terminals integrate advanced, privacy-conscious verification protocols to ensure strict adherence to local age restrictions. These systems are designed to adapt flexibly to regional laws, offering a robust compliance shield without compromising consumer privacy.

"We must move beyond simple manufacturing. Our mission is to provide a 'compliance shield' for our clients. By embedding rigorous age verification technologies directly into our hardware, we are not just selling machines; we are selling the sustainability of the entire industry."
Mary Huang, CEO of Reyeah Technology

Rejecting Price Wars, Embracing Long-Termism

The summit also addressed the destructive nature of "low-price involution" (internal competition). Mr. Ao Weinuo, Secretary-General of ECCC, called for unity to maintain a healthy industrial ecosystem. Echoing this sentiment, Ms. Huang emphasized Long-Termism over short-term gains.

Alongside industry peers such as Mr. Wang Xizhi (Chairman of IJOY) and Mr. Liu Jinbao (Chairman of JBL), the consensus was clear: Quality and Compliance are the only viable paths forward. By investing in R&D and adhering to international standards (such as PMTA in the US and TPD in Europe), Chinese enterprises can elevate "Made in China" from a label of cost-efficiency to a badge of premium reliability.
