Therapeutic Cannabis products are gaining mainstream prominence, especially after the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, owing to factors such as growing stress and anxiety levels, and the subsequent need for consumers to receive aid. These products which can be consumed as oils, pills, and edibles, among other forms, are readily available in most nations throughout the world, unlike Recreational Cannabis products, which are heavily regulated and are legally sold in only a handful of countries.
It's interesting to note that these products are not only meant for human use, but for animals as well. A 2020 survey of over 5,000 pet owners conducted by research firm Attest and Prohibition Partners revealed that nearly 75% of them had purchased CBD products for their dogs. The growing pet population, therefore is expected to be one of the key driving factors in this space, in the medium to long term.
The industry is also witnessing much innovation in terms of new product development, emergence of new startups, and robust M&A activity, which we believe will also be key driving factors moving forwardin this market. For instance, the United States based manufacturer, Cheef Botanicals, has recently launched Vegan CBD Gummies, in August 2022, in order to attract diet-conscious consumers. Moreover, many manufacturers are also looking at exploring synthetic biology tools for manufacturing CBD products, which would result in lower manufacturing costs and ultimately, higher profits, and is expected to be a key trend in the manufacturing of these products.
