The cannabis market continues to show its staying power in the United States. Louisville, Colo.-based BDSA projects that U.S. cannabis sales will grow from $25 billion in 2021 to $42 billion in 2026. Earlier this year, BDSA estimated that edibles account for 15% of total legal sales in 2021. Of that segment, beverages made 5% of total edible sales, according to BDSA Retail Sales Tracking.
Although cannabis beverages still are a niche market, the interest in this space remains expansive.
