CBD growth has been off the charts. Retailers like Sephora, CVS, Kroger, Wegman’s, and Vitamin Shoppe are stocking shelves with it. U.S. approval ratings are only increasing. In fact, a
Gallup poll shows support at a new high of 68%
from 66% year over year.
“The latest data are from a Sept. 30-Oct. 15 poll, conducted before the election that saw marijuana legalization proposals on the ballot in several states. Voters in all of these states — Arizona, Montana, New Jersey, and South Dakota — authorized the legal use of recreational marijuana in the Nov. 3 election. They join 11 other states and the District of Columbia in legalizing pot for recreational purposes.”
Over the next five years, analysts at Nielsen say CBD products could generate $6.9 billion. Cowen says sales could reach $16 billion by 2025. Globally, Global Insights analysts say the market could generate $89 billion over that time.
CBD Gummies Could be a $6.94 Billion Market
Over the next five years, the global CBD gummies market could be worth up to $6.94 billion, according to Grand View Research. Helping to drive a good deal of that growth, they note, is the growing trend of cannabis legalization around the world. Plus, “Considering that the market could see favorable U.S. Food and Drug Administration guidance or legislation from Congress approving CBD in ingestible products next year, Nielsen expects that by 2025, the market for hemp-derived CBD products will generate $6.9 billion.”
That’s creating momentum for CBD gummies companies, like

, which just announced that its
