CBD Market Segments That Experts are Projecting to Rise

PALM BEACH, Florida, March 5, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- While many have heard or read the bombshell report by the Brightfield Report, that stated: "CBD is growing faster than cannabis in the U.S. and will soon be a $22 billion industry (by 2022). It's been flying under the radar but is set to explode…" not many are familiar with the markets that should be the main detonators of this explosion.  Jamie Schau, of the Brightfield Group recently addressed that question in an article for the Cannabis Business Times. She said: "CBD is infused in everything from sparkling water to vape pens and bug spray. As interest grows and dollars flow into the market—which is projected to have reached $591 million in 2018 and skyrocket with legalization—the question on everyone's lips is: What's the next big thing? (She sees)… indicators among manufacturers, consumers and retailers that the following products will be the hottest CBD trends in 2019.  She spoke of three categories that stand out to her: Drinks; Topicals; and Pet Products.  She continued: " Drinks are a hot product in general… CBD-infused beverages are a natural fit to compete in the popular beverage market… A number of hemp-CBD product manufacturers are headed in this direction, aiming to compete with, or be acquired by, large corporations who have their eyes on the CBD space and who are ready to pounce…   Active companies in the markets this week include The Yield Growth Corp. (CSE:BOSS) (OTC:BOSQF), Aphria Inc. (NYSE: APHA) (TSX: APHA), 1933 Industries Inc. (CSE: TGIF) (OTC: TGIFF), OrganiGram Holdings Inc. (TSX-V: OGI) (OTC: OGRMF), Medigus Ltd. (NASDAQ: MDGS).

Topicals are another area where consumers and manufacturers are focusing more attention is topicals—especially when it comes to specialized formulas such as those tailored to the beauty, skincare or sports medicine industries. Given topicals' rapid-release formulas and reported efficacy against inflammation, pain and various skin conditions, and their ability to be formulated into an endless number of varieties and products for various consumer segments, these products have excellent long-term sales potential. Beauty and skincare topicals are expected to have a whopping five-year CAGR of 214 percent.
