Global Cannabis Food & Beverage Market is valued approximately at USD 425 million in 2018 and is anticipated to grow with a healthy growth rate of more than 27% over the forecast period 2019-2026. The cannabis plant is usually known as hemp, but this term is primarily used to refer to only the forms of cannabis that are developed for use of non-drug. From the past decades, it has been used to produce hemp seeds, hemp leaves, hemp fiber, and oil for use as juices and vegetables, or even in therapeutic purposes as a recreational drug. Nowadays, cannabis foods & beverages is becoming more popular due to a broad range of health benefits that include from treating insomnia, to anxiety, seizures, inflammation and chronic pain. There are more than 100 distinct types of cannabinoids are available among which tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD) are the two most popular types of cannabis. Legalizing of recreational or medical cannabis in various countries, escalating demand of cannabis based wellness drink, along with rising disposable income of the consumers and improving living standards are the few factors responsible for high CAGR of the market over the forecast period. For instance, in Canada, the government has legalized the use of cannabis among adults in 2018 and is criticized to legalize cannabis fortified edibles by October 2019. Also, cannabis has been made legal across most of the countries of South and Central America, as well as Africa. Australia has also legalized the use of cannabis for medicinal purpose, and New Zealand is likely to legalize both medicinal purpose and use of cannabis for adults by 2020. This in turn is highly motivating the healthcare manufacturers to use cannabis in medicine and therapeutic drugs all over the world. However, volatility prices of raw materials and supply shortage of high quality cannabis in numerous countries are the major factor constraining the growth of global cannabis food & beverage market during the forecast period.
