NEW YORK, September 6, 2018 /PRNewswire/ --
According to a report released by Arcview Market Research, in partnership with BDS Analytics, worldwide consumer spending on legal cannabis is projected to reach USD 57 Billion by 2027. Adult-use cannabis accounts for USD 38.3 Billion of total spending, while medical cannabis spending is expected to reach USD 19.1 Billion. North America is expected to have the largest spending volume during the forecast years. Furthermore, the report expects spending in North America to grow from USD 9.2 Billion to USD 47.3 Billion by 2027 and at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 18%. Koios Beverage Corp. (OTC: KBEVF), Constellation Brands (NYSE: STZ), Canopy Growth Corporation (NYSE: CGC), Molson Coors Brewing Company (NYSE: TAP), HEXO Corp. (OTC: HYYDF) The cannabis-infused edible product market has potential to grow due to the increasing social acceptance of cannabis. The market can be divided into food and beverages based on product type. Data provided by Technavio showed that the global cannabis-infused edible products market is expected to grow at a CAGR of over 25%. A senior analyst at Technavio for research on the food sector said: "The incorporation of new techniques in cannabis cultivation has resulted in the higher growth rate of the global legal cannabis market. The use of these advanced techniques has led to improved quality of the marijuana-derived CBD-oil products, which augurs well for the growth of the market."
Koios Beverage Corp. (OTC: KBEVF) is also listed on the Canadian Stock Exchange under (CSE: KBEV). Earlier this week, the Company announced that, "it will be launching two additional products in October to augment its existing line of beverages. The first product slated for release in October is a beverage infused with cannabidiol (CBD), a cannabinoid derived from hemp plants, along with Koios' proprietary nootropic stack.
CBD is commonly used in medical practice to deal with inflammation, pain, anxiety, and epileptic seizures. Unlike THC, which is also produced in the cannabis plant, CBD is not a psychoactive cannabinoid and does not cause the sensation of 'getting high' which is often associated with marijuana.
Nootropic supplements are used to enhance human productivity without using harmful chemicals or stimulants. Koios products can enhance focus, concentration, mental capacity, memory retention, cognitive function, alertness, brain capacity and create all day mental clarity.
'We are just scratching the surface of what cannabinoids like CBD can do for human health,' said Miller. 'CBD is the best researched of all the cannabinoids within the cannabis plant, and is well known for its restorative effect on human health, and in dealing with various types of pain.'
'With our focus on creating optimal human performance and health through our natural supplements, a CBD-infused beverage was a natural next step,' Miller added. 'With our current nootropic stack we will bring a product to market that aims to produce high levels of natural focus while simultaneously creating calming effects for the end user. A CBD infused beverage will be a tremendous value to the market and will allow us to come one step closer to realizing our vision of helping a billion people live healthier lives.'
The second product slated for October will also be released through the Cannavated subsidiary, and will be a collaboration with the Company's partner Keef Brands, a division of CanCore Concepts Inc. (CanCore).
Keef Brands will manufacture, market and sell a line of beverages that are not only infused with THC, but also contain the nootropic supplements from the Koios line of brain-enhancing functional beverages. The resulting product will be the first in the world to combine cannabis infusion with nootropic supplements that enhance the consumer's mental acuity.
Keef Brands has the exclusive rights to the Koios blend for Colorado, with the option of expanding the licensing agreement to Canada and the U.S., provided it complies with all rules and regulations in the markets where cannabis has been made legal. The timing of the release of these products was pushed back due to the overwhelmingly positive result we have had launching our Pear Guava flavour.
'The product sold out in its first month and forced us to alter our production schedule to meet the demand of our customers and retail partners,' said Miller. 'The timing on these new releases is critical and we want to ensure proper vertical alignment with our distributors as we approach the busy season."
