CBD Market

Market Overview

Global cannabidiol (CBD) market size is closing in on US$ 3 billion mark in 2021, according to a new study by Fact.MR.

Growing clamor for full legalization, combined with a ready consumer base will push global demand for cannabidiol products to over 34 billion by 2029. In terms of consumption, cannabidiol demand is set to reach 1.34 million kg by 2029.

Demand of CBD in Pharmaceutical Applications

In addition, cannabidiol reverses hemorrhoids, avoids menstrual cramps, and lowers psychotic events of schizophrenia.

Top CBD companies are promoting it as a ‘no-side effect’ ingredient in pharmaceutical drugs, which makes it a viable alternative to THC (Tetrahydrocannabinol).

While THC shows its effect in the central nervous system (CNS), cannabidiol does the same in the immune system.

Nevertheless, Cannabidiol and THC, after combining in equal ratios, complement each other’s positive impacts – the “entourage” effect, which can influence emerging trends in the cannabidiol market in the coming years.

Apart from pharmaceuticals, Cannabidiol is steadily finding its way in eateries and breweries as well as an ingredient in mocktails, sodas, and others, owing to its anti-anxiety impact.

However, government bodies across the world are imposing restrictions on the addition of cannabidiol in food items, and beverages amid anecdotal clinical evidence, despite the industrial hemp having received a green signal, leaving consumers bewildered about the effects of Cannabidiol.

Furthermore, legal agencies are confiscating consumables offered by restaurant owners, and food manufacturers, which may impact the growth of the cannabidiol market in the coming years.

CBD Market Trends 2021

The cannabidiol marketplace is likely to witness significant R&D investment in the pharmaceutical industry as a broad-spectrum pharmaceutical therapeutics.

Multiple scientific studies have shown promising results of cannabidiol for its potential in the treatment of a number of diseases. Following which the cannabidiol market is marked by a considerable cannabidiol therapeutics getting FDA approval or moving ahead in the human clinical trials.

For instance, INSYS Therapeutics, Inc. announced in March 2018, the initiation of Phase III clinical trial of cannabidiol oral solution for the treatment of a rare type of pediatric epilepsy, infantile spasms. GW Pharmaceutical plc and Greenwich Biosciences, GW’s subsidiary announced FDA’s approval of EPIDIOLEX® cannabidiol oral solution in June 2018 and from November 2018, the plant-derived cannabidiol is available by prescription in the U.S.

Approval of EPIDIOLEX® cannabidiol has become a landmark announcement as it is FDA’s very first approval of the drug derived from cannabis sativa plant and also validated some of the therapeutic benefits of cannabidiol.

Further, the approval is expected to impact significant economic, political and legislative shifts across the global cannabinoid marketplace. Also, the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) is also expected to reschedule and change the classification of cannabidiol compound in the near future.

Use of Hemp-derived CBD Growing

Cannabidiol (CBD) is a non-intoxicating and non-psychotropic cannabinoid, which not only imparts myriad beneficial health effects, but also is deprived of relevant side effects.

CBD is industrial hemp’s primary cannabinoid, present in concentrations between the range 0.5% and 4%.

Major stakeholders in the hemp industry have been focusing on continued growth, in tandem with progress being made in legislature and product development.

The Industrial Hemp Regulations (IHR) address specific topics apropos of the production, processing, control, and export measures within various stages of the industry.

Current IHR require two conformances namely, tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) testing of every field, except cultivars depicting low THC in provided province, and THC sampling & testing in production process concerning food derivatives. These process are expensive and entail the need for significant administrative investments by health regulatory bodies.

Recognizing the concern, the Canadian Hemp Trade Alliance (CHTA) proposed an efficient infield science-based alternative for generating reliable results. The proposal involves elimination of THC testing with respect to food derivatives.

The alterations suggested are expected to aid achieving the objective of reducing THC content in crops with relatively less investment. Such regulatory changes are further expected to facilitate harvest, processing, and sales of non-psychoactive cannabinoids such as CBD from industrial hemp.

Improving Accessibility to CBD-based Therapies: WHO Report Aids Alleviation of Restrictions on Cannabidiol

Cannabis comprises over 100 chemical compounds known as cannabinoids, with the most common among them being CBD and THC. The WHO’s Expert Committee on Drug Dependence (ECDD) published a report in 2017, which acknowledges clinical employment of CBD to be the most advanced treatment of epilepsy.

CBD is perceived to have significant therapeutic value for seizures on account of epilepsy and relevant conditions. In addition, clinical trials conducted on CBD have depicted its efficacy in treatment of various forms of epilepsy.

The report further acknowledged existence of primary evidence underpinning utilization of CBD in treatment and management of various other diseases that include Alzheimer’s disease, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease, rheumatoid arthritis, Crohn’s disease and Huntington’s disease.

ECDD’s conclusion states that current state of research with regard to scheduling of CBD is not justified, and it could impact accessibility for medical and scientific research.

ECDD’s impending final recommendations, to be published soon, will reaffirm or reinforce these conclusions, in order to alleviate legitimate basis for Secretary of Department of Health in maintaining present restrictions on CBD. This will not only relieve burden from companies developing medicinal products, but also improve access for consumers to effective and novel therapies.
