CBD Product Manufacturing in the US industry analysis

In 2018, CBD products were legalized at the federal level, catalyzing significant growth in an already expanding industry. Before federal legalization, various states had already adopted pro-CBD regulations, creating a conducive environment for market development. CBD's rapid growth was further propelled by this combinatory state and federal legality effect. Recent deceleration is primarily attributed to the formerly young industry reaching a stabilization point. Over the last five years, revenue has been climbing at a CAGR of 9.6%, reaching an estimated $1.3 billion in 2024, when it will falter by 1.4%.

Trends and Insights

  • The 2018 Agricultural Improvement Act revolutionized the CBD industry. Federal legalization under the Act vastly expanded opportunities for producers and enhanced consumer confidence in CBD products. It streamlined operations and fostered market growth despite varying state regulations.
  • CBD topicals remain popular but see waning revenue. Although consumers still favor them for their non-ingestible form, the influx of diverse CBD products has diluted their market share. Larger retailers primarily stock topicals, but broader product availability has shifted dynamics.
  • State-level regulations significantly shape the CBD industry's geographic distribution. The Plains region leads with the highest concentration of manufacturers because of low operational costs and favorable policies. Varied regulations often prompt businesses to relocate for better compliance and benefits.
  • Vitamin and supplement manufacturers are key competitors for CBD products. Due to their established history and reputation, consumers often trust traditional supplements more. This preference poses a challenge for CBD manufacturers when differentiating their offerings.
