Global sales of cannabis infused drinks will surpass US$ 200 Mn in 2019, propelled by growing efficiencies in the delivery methods of drinkables, along with increasing discretion and social acceptance of the consumption method, in contrast to smoking cannabis.

What are the Key Growth Drivers of Cannabis Infused Drinks Market?

This falls in line with the consumer demand for faster feedback on their dosage, which in turn will favor sales of cannabis infused drinks. Leading beverage companies have taken notice of the ravenous appetite of consumers that exists inside the cannabis culture, thereby transitioning into cannabis infused drinks industry.
- As recreational marijuana legalization continues to become a reality across more U.S. states, individuals have started showing more interest in cannabis-infused drinks. Established beverage companies as well as entrepreneurs are taking a close peek into formulas and methods for infusing CBD or THC or both into beverages.
- Cannabis infused non-alcoholic beer is an emerging trend which is expected to gain significant traction, as companies focus on appealing the health-conscious pool of consumers. For instance, Grain wave is a THC-infused non-alcoholic beer that hit the dispensary shelves in December 2018.
- The novelty of being able to drink THC-infused beverages has gained marked preference in the current adult-use recreational marijuana industry, especially for beverages that mimic beer or wine. While this trend gains pace, manufacturers are exploring the in-demand flavors to reinforce their product sales.
