Cannabis Products Gain Popularity Domestically and Globally

NEW YORK, February 27, 2017 /PRNewswire/ --

A recent research report published by Grand View Research, Inc. indicates that the global medical marijuana market alone is expected to reach a value of $55.8 billion by 2025. Earlier in 2016, Washington D.C. along with 28 states have legalized marijuana for medical uses. In 2016, states such as Arkansas, Florida, North Dakota, Ohio and Pennsylvania were approved to use the drug in medical applications such as chemotherapies and pain management. The growing number of states and countries getting approval for using it in therapeutic applications is one of the crucial factors driving the demand over the coming few years.

Regulated cannabis sales in North America totaled $6.9 billion in 2016, a 30 percent increase from 2015. Sales are projected to increase to $21.6 billion by the year 2021 representing a 26 percent compound annual growth rate, according to a report by Arcview Market Research.

As an attendee of the conference, Wang learned how direct sales of the health products industry operate in China, and how to apply this information to build the sales team of CIIX's ChineseCBDoil.com retail website. "The market for direct selling of natural products in the United States has considerable depth, and varies from the Chinese market in many ways. It was an honor to attend this year's Yibao Biologics conference, where I was able to gain valuable market insight as well as present my own expertise to fellow attendees," says Wang.

ChineseInvestors.com recently launched http://www.ChineseCBDoil.com, marking the company's official entry into the CBD hemp oil markets.

Our goal is to benefit more Chinese people with reliable logistics network and commodity channels, as well as to provide leading positions in products and resources. Due to the huge size of the Chinese direct selling market, we hope to further expand our market share through investment and alliance in and with direct selling companies," concludes Wang.
