Cannabis Beverages Market Outlook (2023 to 2033)

The adoption of the cannabis beverages market is expected to increase at a CAGR of 17.00% during the forecast period. The cannabis beverages market size is anticipated to rise from USD 1,227.3 Million in 2023 to USD 5,899.5 Million by 2033.

For a long time, cannabis was mostly used for medicinal purposes. However, in recent years, marijuana use has expanded to include consumable drinks such as cannabis-based beverages.

Cannabis beverage companies have entered the market to meet the growing demand for CBD products. Taking illegal consumption into account, recreational cannabis use is far superior to medicinal cannabis use.

Due to general public efforts to legalize marijuana for both medical and recreational uses, the industry's interest in CBD-based products has soared. Cannabidiol (CBD)-infused beverages are becoming more and more well-liked among consumers because of their non-psychoactive effects.

Furthermore, users prefer these beverages over marijuana smoking and the consumption of cannabis-infused brownies, cookies, chocolates, and confectioneries. Clubs, hotels, restaurants, cafés, and lounges are examples of off-trade sales channels that are likely to raise client interest in the product. While the sector has so far been able to function within the odd, frequently obscure regulations governing the production, marketing, and sale of its products, state and federal laws have significantly impeded growth. Since laws differ so greatly from state to state, all company functions, including logistics and fundraising, are more complex in this industry.

Declining sales of alcohol and soft drinks reflect a shift in customer taste for beverage use. Alcohol businesses are refocusing on marijuana in order to get a larger market share through Research and Development spending and the introduction of new products.

Despite the fact that millennials are the primary consumers of cannabis-infused products, Gen Z is quickly catching up due to the health benefits offered by these components.

Top 2 Influences Affecting the Cannabis Beverages Market

Cannabis as a Wellness Option

Consumers concerned about their health are becoming increasingly Cali sober, a term that sounds antiquated but describes replacing alcohol intake with "less damaging" substitutes like cannabis. Alcohol makers should know that the cannabis-infused beverage sector primarily emphasizes wellness and health in their product promotion.

Industry leaders are taking advantage of cultural shifts that make many consumers reevaluate their consumption of alcohol, sugar, and other substances. Marketing teams promote cannabis-infused beverages as a "health option" that can aid in improved sleep and relaxation because they lack alcohol and frequently have few calories.

Expansion of eCommerce Channels Would Assist Market Growth

There is a significant increase in demand for cannabis-infused beverages via e-commerce platforms that offer a high degree of autonomy, privacy, and accessibility in product selection.

Cannabis sales have increased from regulated dispensaries, opening up many opportunities for specialized retailers to present delicious and creative drinks infused with some active principles from cannabis. Furthermore, these distribution channels intend to serve as the go-to place for cannabis-based edibles and aid their growth.

What are the Key Restraints Affecting the Cannabis Beverages Market Growth?

  • The strengths and purity of CBD products might differ between brands and even within a single brand. As a result, it could lead to less-than-ideal results and might not get FDA clearance. Their usage is, therefore, prohibited in several nations.
  • The market for cannabis beverages may be hampered by a few health issues related to marijuana use, such as acute anxiety, fear, distrust, panic, risk of depression, and memory lapses. Furthermore, low awareness among the general public is likely to be a significant obstacle to market growth.

Chemical-free to Create Better Sales Opportunities

Cannabis users are no longer satisfied with smoking flowers with joints, bongs, or pipes; instead, they have a growing preference for new products, including concentrated and infused items. As a result, the beverage sector is going through a necessary shift.

Customers, especially those in the developed markets of North America and Europe, are consistently establishing the category of organic and chemical-free, as well as detectable and herbal formulation trends and advancements. This is expected to support the market for cannabis beverages in the coming years.

Why CBD Beverages are Emerging as Mainstream Products in the Component Segment?

Non-alcoholic Segment to Capture around 50.1% of the Market

In 2023, it is anticipated that non-alcoholic cannabis beverages could represent the most significant and fastest-growing market as customers invest more in wellness drinks.

Beverage Giants are Eyeing for Capitalizing Cannabis Beverage Industry

Cannabidiol, or CBD as it is more commonly known, is a substance derived from cannabis that Coca-Cola Inc. (COKE) is considering incorporating into functional wellness beverages around the world.

According to a preliminary study, CBD provides considerable medical benefits for treating neurological illnesses. Additionally, it is non-psychoactive, which means that it has no adverse effects on one's awareness of their surroundings.

Constellation Brands (STZ), the company behind the best-selling Corona and Modelo beers, entered the cannabis market last year by purchasing a 10% interest in Canopy Growth Corp., the country's most prominent cannabis producer (CGC). The beer business reportedly intends to create cannabis-infused beverages.

Two further breweries have joined the cannabis movement. Heineken, a Dutch brewer, introduced Hi-Fi Hops through its Lagunitas American brand, which is sold at a few California medicinal marijuana clinics. The beverage, which has a beer-likEflavor, substitutes tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), a psychoactive component of cannabis, for alcohol.

The Molson Coors Brewing Company (TAP), based in Denver, has teamed with the Canadian brand Hydropothecary. Following legalization, both businesses intend to "pursue chances to manufacture non-alcoholic, cannabis-infused beverages for the Canadian market."
