Market Dynamics

The health and wellness industry have seen a surge in popularity in recent years, with consumers becoming more thoughtful about the products they consume. In response to this shift, Cannabis-based Alcoholic Beverages are positioning themselves as a healthier alternative to traditional alcoholic beverages. Many cannabis-infused drinks are low in calories, gluten-free, and can contain various natural ingredients, such as fruits and botanicals, appealing to health-conscious consumers who prioritize quality and natural ingredients. For instance, Ablis launched new potency of its CBD beverages and shooters in all drinks with doubling CBD isolates in each beverage. Ablis created CBD drink with all-natural ingredients and high-quality products and made from 100% pure hemp CBD isolate.

Furthermore, advancements in technology have played a significant role in shaping the Cannabis-based Alcoholic Beverages market. From production processes to product formulations, technology has allowed companies to improve the quality, consistency, and safety of their products. In terms of production, technology has facilitated the development of efficient and scalable methods for infusing cannabis extracts into alcoholic beverages. Some companies have developed proprietary techniques to ensure consistent dosing and flavor profiles, guaranteeing a reliable and enjoyable consumer experience. For instance, Province Brands have focused on creating the world's first beer brewed from cannabis. They developed a technology to use the stalks, stems, and roots of the cannabis plant to produce a non-alcoholic beer-like beverage.

North America dominated the market in 2022. This growth can be attributed to several factors such as changing consumer preferences, increased social acceptance of cannabis, and regulatory changes. In addition, several states in the United States and Canada have legalized recreational cannabis, and public opinion towards the plant has become more favorable. This societal shift has resulted in a growing demand for cannabis-based products, including alcoholic beverages. Consumers are now more open to trying cannabis-infused drinks and incorporating them into their social and recreational activities.
