CBD Market Growth Projections Dramatically Higher Than Expected, Generating Strong Revenues

PALM BEACH, Florida, October 23, 2018 /PRNewswire/ --

Financialnewsmedia.com News Commentary 

The Cannabinoid (CBD) sector continues to illustrate strong revenue growth with projections favoring a continued trend of consistency as cannabis-extracts and CBD-based products become synonymous with mainstream markets. The CBD market has just about doubled in size over the past two years and is expected to surpass the billion-dollar mark within the next two years according to forecasts from multiple analysts. CBD continues to experience this unrelenting growth largely due to the fact that it does not have as many hurdles to jump over compared to traditional cannabis, especially as it relates to regulations and logistical issues. Other factors working in CBD's favor include the wide variety of CBD products hitting the market, increased consumer adoption and leaders in the industry steadily investing in research and development to tap into new markets.

(NASDAQ:CRON) (TSX:CRON), Kona Gold Solutions (OTC:KGKG), CROP INFRASTRUCTURE CORP. (CSE:CROP) (OTC:CRXPF).
