Cannabis-infused products — the next great market disruptors — are here. In this market report, Beverage Marketing Corporation helps entrepreneurs, market veterans and investors get their arms around the U.S. cannabis beverage and edibles opportunity. Its size, the hurdles, progress to date and projections for the future, plus data, analysis, a look at new products and market projections. It’s all here. Impact of the coronavirus epidemic is also discussed.

The legalization of medicinal and recreational marijuana and hemp-based products continues, with more U.S. states coming on board. Like the Wild West and the Gold Rush of America’s past, both the potential risks and rewards are uncharted and unprecedented. Some have proceeded with caution while others have jumped in head-first. Entrepreneurs, large, traditional food and beverage companies, traditional and non-traditional beverage distributors and investors will continue to explore and experiment to find the best way to make their mark. However, the category has faced regulatory headwinds, giving marketers more time to develop a strategy to take advantage of the new paradigm in functional and recreational cannabis-infused edibles and beverages — or risk being left behind. Either way, it’s an issue that can’t be ignored.

For those who have already entered the market or those considering getting in on the ground floor, this report from Beverage Marketing Corporation provides the information necessary to assess the hurdles and analyze the risks and rewards. This report will be of great interest to entrepreneurs looking to enhance their business plans, larger food and beverage companies or investors seeking to seize the opportunity and assess the early market entrants. It will also be helpful to industry suppliers, consultants and others needing to get a feel for what is coming down the road. From products, to technological advances in formulation, to potential strategic initiatives that may be worth considering, this BMC report will quench the thirst for a deep understanding of opportunities in the CBD- and THC-infused market in general and in beverages in particular.

This report features

This report examines the very rare case of an industry that is transitioning from mostly illegal to mostly legal, which not only has societal implications but also an impact on beverage segments such as beer, wine and spirits, as well as on functionally-oriented, no-alcohol drinks. This presentation of industry research begins with a very brief overview of the (mostly illegal) global cannabis market and its uptake by region. It then discusses the main product segments of the fledgling legal cannabis market, and details legal and regulatory issues regarding marijuana and hemp in Canada and the U.S. This is followed by a brief summary of the principal cannabis growers and marketers in Canada, some of which have already made partnerships with large beverage companies.

After outlining this context, the report describes the two main segments of the U.S. cannabis beverage market — no-alcohol CBD beverages and no-alcohol THC beverages — and touches on the challenges facing a third segment — CBD-infused alcohol beverages. In this report, readers get a thorough understanding of all facets of the nascent cannabis beverage market including:

Retail dollar sales of the cannabis market and the cannabis beverage market by segment going back to 2016.
