The global CBD market is estimated to hit USD$2.73bn (£~2.01bn) in 2021, and is projected to reach $7.99bn by 2027.

The Research and Markets report attributes the antibiotic and analgesic effects and properties present in CBD, which can be used to treat a variety of ailments such as anxiety, nausea, stress, chronic pain, neurological conditions, and seizures, as likely to contribute to the growth of the market.

Recent years have seen growing medical applications of the compound, as well as increasing R&D in medical cannabis, and increasing product adoption and utilisation due to government approvals. All of this has contributed to bolstering the market growth for CVD, says Research and Markets. 

It has also highlighted the changing regulatory landscape and legalisation for approval of CBD-based products globally as expected to drive market growth.

The high cost of CBD and barriers in its marketing has also been attributed to hindering market growth, as well as the lack of consumer awareness. The absence of legalisation programmes in several Asian and African countries is also impeding the growth of the CBD market, according to the market analysis company.
