The CBD market is expected to reach over US$56.2 billion in global sales revenue by 2028, according to a new financial report by Global Market Insights Inc.

On Wednesday, the Delaware-based analytics firm released a new 209-page-long report looking into the potential economic gains of the cannabidiol industry and found that the increasing awareness of CBD-based products as an alternative to traditional pharmaceutical drugs is propelling the cannabidiol (CBD) market demand.

In 2021, CBD global sales were around US$12.8 billion and it’s estimated to have a compound annual growth rate of around 22 per cent in 2022-2028. The oral segment of the CBD market also accounted for 52 per cent of revenue share in 2021.
