CBD-Infused Health and Wellness Plays: Southern ITS International (OTCMKTS:SITS), HempFusion Wellness (OTCMKTS:CBDHF), cbdMD Inc. (NYSE:YCBD), Charlotte’s Web Holdings (OTCMKTS:CWBHF), and Zynerba Pharmaceuticals (Nasdaq:ZYNE)
Demand for cannabidiol (CBD) in the Health and Wellness sector continues to grow at a rapid pace. One reason investors are keen on the industry is that unlike hemp and marijuana-derived products containing THC, CBD products are federally legal.
This has caused several research outlets to forecast impressive growth in the industry. According to ResearchAndMarkets, the CBD-infused Products Market is expected to reach $216.8 billion by 2028, at a CAGR of 45.6% during the forecast period, 2021-2028.
