The hemp market is set to have strong growth. Hemp and cannabis brands are reaching more consumers by investing in product innovation. The global industrial hemp market was valued at $4.9B in 2019 and is projected to reach $18.8B by 2027, registering a CAGR of 22.4% from 2021 to 2027. About the cannabis market, it was valued at $28.6B in 2020 and will witness stellar growth to top $197.74B by 2028, registering a CAGR of 32.04%. Cannabis has been used for thousands of years, and now, it is finally being recognized for its therapeutic and medicinal benefits. Medical hemp has gained a lot of worldwide attention in recent years, notably with the use and acceptance of medical C. Sativa, which continues to grow, as evidenced by an increasing number of countries and states permitting its use for specific medical indications. Countries such as Germany, Finland, Israel, and Canada have taken bold steps in allowing medical marijuana use owing to its therapeutic benefits. Additionally, more than 25 states in the US have changed their laws to legalize cannabis for medical use.
Another area CBD dives in is the wellness space. As consumers continue to spend on products they perceive to support their health and wellness goals, experts predict cannabis brands will have more opportunities than ever. Let’s focus on hemp seeds as an example. Hulled hemp seeds are rich in omega fatty acids, including omega-3 and omega-6. Omega fatty acids are essential for supporting your health and have been correlated with reduced chance of heart disease, reduced inflammation, and supported brain health. Also, hemp seeds are rich in minerals like phosphorus, sodium, zinc, magnesium, sulfur, calcium, and Vitamin E. Hemp seeds aren’t just superpowered with crucial vitamins and minerals. They’re also packed with 11 grams of protein per serving. One-quarter of the calories in hemp seeds come from their protein content, which is higher than other protein sources. Moreover, hemp seeds are a complete protein source, containing all the essential amino acids the body needs to function correctly.
Cannibble Foodtech (CSE: PLCN) is still in the early stage but is set to have tremendous growth. The acquisition of Eshbal Functional foods will allow Cannibble to expand its American opportunity, combined with Eshbal’s board experience. It will have better experience strategies to conquer more market share. The stock volume is currently low, but once the company declares more recurring sales, the stock volume and price should subsequently increase.
