All Indications Point to Billion Dollar CBD Markets Should Continue to Skyrocket

Palm Beach, FL – October 8, 2019 – Industry reports all seem to agree on one thing: The cannabidiol (CBD) revolution will continue to rise. As consumers accept… and even demand more CBD products, the future is projected to continue to rise in years to come. Statista has reported that it expects that U.S. consumer sales of CBD will reach around 1.8 billion U.S. dollars by 2022. That would be a massive increase from around half a billion dollars in 2018. Grandview, on the other hand said that 2018 global CBD revenues were 1.34 billion and that they are projected to expand at a CAGR of 32.6% through 2015. It seems that both the US and global markets are positioned to continue to thrive. Grandview added that: “Increasing awareness regarding health benefits pertaining to cannabidiol consumption is projected to foster the growth. High demand for cannabidiol in pharmaceutical formulations owing to its healing properties is anticipated to bode well for the market in near future.   Active cannabis companies in the markets this week include Integrated Cannabis Company, Inc. (OTCQB: ICNAF) (CSE: ICAN), HEXO Corp. (NYSE: HEXO) (TSX: HEXO), Green Growth Brands Inc. (CSE: GGB) (OTCQB: GGBXF), Emerald Health Therapeutics, Inc. (TSX-V: EMH) (OTCQX: EMHTF), Ignite International Brands, Ltd. (CSE: BILZ) (OTCQX: BILZF).

 

“Growing hemp production along with rising demand for cannabidiol rich hemp biomass is projected to bolster the market growth. Increasing adoption of refined cannabidiol (CBD) products coupled with growing legalization of medical marijuana is expected to drive the product demand in extended run.  CBD skin care products include moisturizers and creams, cleansers, serums, oils, and sunscreens. Anti-aging properties and effectiveness for all skin types, including sensitive and acne-prone skin, is anticipated to drive the demand for cannabidiol in skin care and cosmetic products.”
