Latest industry research has indicated that the CBD-infused product market could be worth as much as $291 billion by 2032, including growth in confectionery and snacks-based products, writes Neill Barston.
The study from Meticulous Research asserted that the global market is now experiencing a notable 30% CAGR growth, as manufacturers seek out new product opportunities, as an increasing number of governments and authorities around the world permit its usage.
Confectionery Production has previously reported on trends for the use of such legally created products – which contain appropriately low doses of CBD cleared for product development – which have found favour in markets, including the US, though regulatory hurdles remain a challenge.
However, as the research group observed, CBD-infused products market is experiencing robust growth driven primarily by increasing consumer demand for cannabis products, expanding legalisation across various jurisdictions, and growing popularity of cannabis-infused edibles. However, market expansion faces challenges from high production costs associated with cannabidiol (CBD) and regulatory restrictions in certain countries.
The report identifies significant growth opportunities in emerging segments, particularly the rising demand for cannabis in pet food products and the increasing market for cannabis-infused beverages.
As its analysis found, while CBD-based items are emerging in a number of categories, it is edibles, including confectionery and snacks that have been identified as having particular potential within the segment.
Significantly, Hemp is expected to account for 76.3% of the overall CBD-infused products market in 2025 and achieve the highest CAGR of 32.7% during the forecast period. This dominance is attributed to hemp’s lower THC concentration, reduced psychoactive effects, and suitability for medical applications, along with its anti-inflammatory, anti-aging, and antioxidant properties.
According to the Meticulous Research study, America is expected to dominate the global CBD-infused products market market with a 59.5% share in 2025 and achieve the highest CAGR of 34.3% through 2032. This regional leadership is supported by growing health and wellness trends, increased R&D investment, rising corporate funding, technological advancements in production and processing, and expansion of online retail channels.
The report also provides detailed analysis of the CBD-infused products market in Europe, Asia-Pacific, Latin America, and the Middle East & Africa.
