CBD growth has been off the charts. Retailers like Sephora, CVS, Kroger, Wegman’s, and Vitamin Shoppe are stocking shelves with it. U.S. approval ratings are only increasing. In fact, a Gallup poll shows support at a new high of 68% from 66% year over year.
“The latest data are from a Sept. 30-Oct. 15 poll, conducted before the election that saw marijuana legalization proposals on the ballot in several states. Voters in all of these states -- Arizona, Montana, New Jersey, and South Dakota -- authorized the legal use of recreational marijuana in the Nov. 3 election. They join 11 other states and the District of Columbia in legalizing pot for recreational purposes.”
Over the next five years, analysts at Nielsen say CBD products could generate $6.9 billion. Cowen says sales could reach $16 billion by 2025. Globally, Global Insights analysts say the market could generate $89 billion over that time.
CBD Gummies Could be a $6.94 Billion Market
Over the next five years, the global CBD gummies market could be worth up to $6.94 billion, according to Grand View Research. Helping to drive a good deal of that growth, they note, is the growing trend of cannabis legalization around the world. Plus, “Considering that the market could see favorable U.S. Food and Drug Administration guidance or legislation from Congress approving CBD in ingestible products next year, Nielsen expects that by 2025, the market for hemp-derived CBD products will generate $6.9 billion.”
That’s creating momentum for CBD gummies companies, like Plus Products Inc. (CSE:PLUS)(OTC:PLPRF), which just announced that its Sour Watermelon Uplift Gummy was recognized as LeafLink’s best-selling cannabis edible in the California market and one of the five best-selling edible products across all active markets.
LeafLink processes over $3.1B per year in wholesale cannabis orders on its B2B e-commerce marketplace. Connecting over 1,700 cannabis brands with over 5,600 licensed retailers, the LeafLink platform is active in 26 legal markets across North America.
“PLUS is thrilled to see one of our products receive such noteworthy recognition,” stated Jake Heimark, PLUS Co-founder and CEO. “We have built the company around providing the California market with the highest quality cannabis products and this award is a testament to that.”
PLUS Sour Watermelon UPLIFT, with over 38 million gummies sold since January 2018, has remained one of the most popular cannabis products in California since adult-use was legalized.
The LeafLink List 2020 was created by analyzing orders through the LeafLink marketplace from January 1st, 2020 to September 1st, 2020.

We’re excited to continue working together to push the cannabis space forward.
