Recent Grand View Research indicated that: The global CBD oil and CBD consumer health market size was valued at USD 20.3 billion in 2019 and is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 25.6% from 2020 to 2027. Increasing the adoption of cannabidiol (CBD) and infused products for various medical and wellness purposes is the key factor driving the market’s growth. In addition, favorable government regulations and increasing consumer awareness and demand for cannabidiol due to its health benefits further increase its adoption. Furthermore, CBD consumer health products are also gaining significant acceptance owing to their health benefits without any psychoactive effects. Increasing awareness regarding health benefits offered by cannabidiol-infused products has led to an increase in a consumer pool willing to buy these products.
Moreover, the increasing product options for consumers, such as dietary supplements, analgesics, edibles, topicals, oils, and capsules, are driving the market. Growing demand for cannabidiol in pharmaceutical formulations owing to its healing properties is expected to boost the demand for the product in the pharmaceutical industry. Other factors contributing to the increase in demand for CBD oil include rising consumer preference toward oil as a product category, the surge in demand for full-spectrum products, and many companies entering into bulk as well as finished product business. This segment is anticipated to register a lucrative growth in the forthcoming years owing to the increase in demand for cannabidiol from various end-user industries such as pharmaceuticals, food and beverage, and personal care and cosmetics, which is expected to trigger market growth.
