The CBD industry is now regulated in a number of countries. It is also massive. The use of cannabidiol as a natural remedy has become extremely popular, and the industry has made sure to move with the times.
Here is a guide to some of the biggest trends being seen in the CBD industry today.
Vaporizers
As CBD products have become more generally accepted in certain parts of the world, the kinds of products that are actually being sold have changed. While tinctures and capsules were popular during the early days of the product being sold, the modern market appears to favor the ingestion of CBD using vaporizer pens.
Temporary vape pens – have proven to be especially popular with younger audiences. Vaporized CBD is ingested through the lungs. This method of consuming CBD is also growing in popularity; for instance, in the UK, research conducted by the Association for the Cannabinoid industry has found that vapes are now among the most popular CBD products.
Changing Audiences
The increasingly accepted status of CBD products has led to a shift in audience. While early adopters of CBD were more likely to come from audience groups enthusiastic about alternative medicine and cannabis, the modern audience groups targeted by CBD companies are much broader.
Generally, older, more ‘conventional’ audience groups are worth more to CBD companies than young people without much money to spend. As audiences change, the kinds of products being designed will change alongside them in order to suit their tastes.
Increased Diversity
There are 100 minor cannabinoids found in the hemp plant. Not all of these chemicals have been isolated and exploited by the CBD industry yet – but that looks like it is going to be changing soon. As the industry becomes larger, the types of CBD being used commercially will naturally have to diversify as companies look to specialize and offer customers unique products.
There are already thousands of different kinds of CBD products on the market. It is only going to get more diverse from here on out. Expect specialization and diversity to be the name of the game in the CBD industry of the mid-2020s.
Big Retail Acceptance
CBD has been widely accepted by major retailers in certain countries in recent years, such as the US and the UK, for instance. This is due to the increasing demand for items that contain CBD as people seek alternative natural products. Even several retailers now stock CBD products, including oils, capsules, and creams.
Furthermore, the CBD industry has become more regulated in various countries, and this regulation has helped to ensure that CBD products sold by major retailers meet certain quality and safety standards, further contributing to their widespread acceptance. Increased regulation can, it seems, lead to increased acceptance.
Consumers now know that they can trust the content of the CBD products that they are buying from legitimate vendors – even if the remedial evidence has yet to be confirmed by scientists.
