CBD Gummies Market to Gather Steam, Efforts Towards Legalization Pays Dividends

Published : 06 Feb 2020 Industry: Food & Beverage

The global CBD gummies market is expected to grow at an exponential CAGR of 28 % over the forecast period from 2019-2029. Growing interest of consumers in edible cannabis options is a major factor that is supporting growth of the market.

The global industry is largely fragmented with a number of small and medium scale enterprises operating in the industry. Most of these companies are located within Canada, and a number of small scale businesses are also opening up in the United States. Governments are pushing to legalize marijuana in a bid to shut down the black market and bolster revenue from legal CBD gummies sales.

Key Takeaways from CBD Gummies Market Study

• In terms of the fast growing European CBD gummies market, United Kingdom is projected to display the fastest rate of growth, owing to the recent legalization of cannabis for recreational and medical use. Legalization has also resulted in North America becoming the largest regional market for CBD gummies.
• The segment of high concentration CBD gummies products is expected to witness a higher rate of growth during the forecast period owing to applications in ailments such as schizophrenia, glaucoma, and sleep disorders among others. Low concentration CBD gummies are projected to remain the largest segment, with demand from new comers.
• Longer lasting effects of CBD gummies in comparison with smoking cannabis is another key factor promoting demand, and generating a perception of health benefits with the product.

However, convenience factors are driving the use of online alternatives, especially among regular consumers.

“It is expected that within a few years, more states in the U.S. are likely to legalize the consumption of CBD either for medicinal or recreational purposes. Such trends of legalization is likely to boost the demand for CBD in the country.” says the Fact.MR analyst.
