The global cannabidiol (CBD) market size was USD 7.59 billion in 2023 and is projected to grow from USD 11.16 billion in 2024 to USD 202.45 billion in 2032 at a CAGR of 43.66% during the forecast period 2024-2032. North America dominated the cannabidiol market with a market share of 47.04% in 2023. Moreover, the cannabidiol market size in the U.S. is projected to grow significantly, reaching an estimated value of USD 78.74 billion by 2032, driven by rising liberalization in laws related to the use of cannabidiol products and increase consumer acceptance.


Cannabidiol is extracted from cannabis or hemp, but more specifically from hemp due to its naturally high CBD content. The product is often mistaken for its psychoactive counterpart tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) extracted from the same plant. It has several benefits in treating anxiety, helping prevent seizures, inflammation, and reducing pain. The market is evolving faster due to its increasing utilization in the cosmetics, food, and pharmaceuticals industry. The market exhibits immense growth potential as consumers are becoming aware about the benefits possessed by the product.


The manufacturers are focusing on formulating new product offerings infused with CBD oil to provide the consumers with easy access. For instance, in February 2024, British Cannabis, a global leading company in the CBD industry, announced its latest acquisition of Goodbody Botanicals Ltd, an emerging player in herbal wellness and cosmetics products. The acquisition would allow the British Cannabis company to expand its product offerings and global market reach . The increasing merger and acquisition activities across the world are likely to push the global cannabidiol market growth in the upcoming years.


The COVID-19 outbreak and measures imposed by several governments such as social distancing and lockdown have resulted in the aggravation of the market. The food services sector and other businesses such as the bakery, beverage servings, and dairy have observed a huge decline in their revenue generation since January 2020. The lockdown has impacted several table services worldwide, and the operators are concerned about the cash flow and weathering the storm. According to the International Facility Management Association (IMFA), 84% of in-store operations were affected due to the pandemic, of which food services represented a significant share in 2020.

The new product has been developed from certified organic industrial hemp grown in the U.S. The product has also been designed to soothe the appearance of red and irritated skin.

Cannabidiol (CBD) Market Growth Factors


Increasing Government Approvals for CBD Products to Aid Market


The rapid development of therapies, medicines, and other consumer products derived from cannabis and its positive health benefits has resulted in increased approvals for CBD products. The United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has recognized several potential opportunities that CBD may offer and acknowledge the possibilities to infuse it in various food and non-food applications. However, the FDA is working towards protecting public health and improving the efficiency of regulatory pathways to market appropriate products (including cannabidiol acids). The manufacturers are increasingly focused on sourcing CBD to incorporate it into food and other products. Thus, the rising dependency on products will aid global CBD industry growth during the forecast period.


Abundant Utility of CBD in Pharmaceutical Sector to Propel Market Growth


The rapidly growing pharmaceutical industry globally recognizes the importance and benefits of cannabis and its by-products. CBD is one of the major elements of cannabis adopted by the pharmaceutical industry to offer health safety assurance over several disorders. It has properties such as plant-based in nature and natural alternatives to several conventional medicines that are vigorously marketed among manufacturers and consumers worldwide. Thus, the governments in several regions and countries are approving its utility in medicines and other medical therapies, which is expected to expand and increase the sales and distribution of these products during the forecast period. 


RESTRAINING FACTORS


Additional Barriers in terms of Marketing of CBD Products and Lack of Consumer Awareness


The CBD-based products are gaining wide popularity among consumers in developed economies such as the U.S., Canada, U.K., Russia, and others but not in the developing economies, especially in Asia and the Middle East. The myth associated with the product delivering psychoactive effects due to its popularity among consumers for recreational purposes hampers its market performance. The consumers are not well aware of its benefits, functions, and offerings that are beneficial in several ways. However, the manufacturers are constantly working on creating consumer awareness and developing informative packaging to clear the consumer’s intention towards the product. Thus, the efforts to reinforce the marketing activity will offer growth opportunities for the global cannabidiol market.
