Booming Legal Cannabis Market to Continue Rising in 2022 and Beyond

FN Media Group Presents Microsmallcap.com Market Commentary

 

New York, NY – May 31, 2022 – The global cannabis market is continuing to grow rapidly thanks to increasing legalization and social adoption across the globe. According to a report by Vantage Market Research, revenue came in at US$12.8 billion in 2021 and is estimated to hit US$48.3 billion by 2028 at a CAGR of 24.80%. Factors influencing the growth of the market include the rising acceptance of cannabis for the treatment of chronic pain, increasing government support and more research and development and technological innovations. North America is dominating the market for a number of reasons, including the presence of major players in the legal cannabis market such as Flora Growth Corp. (NASDAQ:FLGC), Aurora Cannabis Inc. (TSX:ACB) (NASDAQ:ACB), Curaleaf Holdings, Inc. (CSE:CURA) (OTCQX:CURLF), Sundial Growers Inc. (NASDAQ:SNDL) and Tilray Brands, Inc (TSX:TLRY) (NASDAQ:TLRY).

 

Flora Growth Corp. (NASDAQ:FLGC) is a leading all-outdoor cultivator, manufacturer and distributor of global cannabis products and brands that operates one of the largest outdoor cannabis cultivation facilities.

 

Flora Growth just announced that its subsidiary JustCBD will launch its line of Novel Foods-approved CBD products on Amazon.co.uk. This decision comes shortly after JustCBD obtained UK Novel Food clearance. Flora and JustCBD intend to continue working with Amazon to expand into other countries and markets over time.

 

“The demand for hemp-derived CBD continues to draw attention in the United Kingdom. JustCBD’s existing presence in the UK alongside the new partnership with Amazon UK has truly solidified our presence in this growing market,” said Flora Growth CEO Luis Merchan.”We are excited to continue expanding our operations and clinical research programs in the United Kingdom and deliver top-quality CBD products to customers aiming to improve their health and quality of life.”

 

Flora Growth also recently announced JustCBD has signed an agreement with airport distribution juggernaut OTG Management to sell its CBD products at airports. As part of the agreement, JustCBD will begin selling its premium CBD products at US airports through distribution company OTG Management, which is a leading operator of airport restaurants and retail storefronts. According to Grand View Research, the CBD gummy market is the fastest-growing segment of the CBD industry, with a projected CAGR of 30.7% from 2021 to 2028, representing a $13.28 billion market opportunity.

 

JustCBD now has offices in the UK as well as 78 products which have cleared the UK Novel Foods authorization.

 

Earlier this month, Flora Growth announced the launch of Vessel brand, a leader in premium cannabis accessories, in Canada following an approved listing in the Ontario Cannabis Store (OCS). The company also announced the launch of its Canadian direct-to-consumer online store, www.vesselbrand.ca to service customers directly across the country.

 

“We’re elated about our partnership with the OCS and are looking forward to bringing the full Vessel experience to our loyal customers across Canada,” says James Choe, Flora Growth’s Chief Strategy Officer. “Our internal estimates show the Canadian cannabis market will be around CAD 5.9 billion this year, with the ancillary category making up about $350 – $475 million. That market potential, coupled with our expectations around meaningful retail door penetration across the country, signals promising growth in this market.”

 

Flora Growth is also advancing its Flora Pharma division. On May 23, the company announced that it has signed a deal with leading cell biologist, Dr. Annabelle Manalo-Morgan, Ph.D., to acquire her Masaya brand, as well as her patent-pending CBD formulations. Flora intends to distribute the brand and its formulations worldwide.

 

Masaya will become a Flora-owned brand sold in the US and will be Flora Life Sciences’ first offering. In addition, the original patent-pending formulation, Masaya Pure, is expected to be used in Flora’s current clinical trials with the University of Manchester in the UK. The formulation is also being registered with the Colombian regulatory agency, INVIMA, as one of the first steps for distribution beyond the US.
