According to the Facts and Factors report, the global cannabis edibles market size was worth around USD 20.5 billion in 2022 and is predicted to grow to around USD 197.75 billion by 2030 with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of roughly 32.041% between 2023 and 2030.
The industry refers to the sale and production of edible items that are prepared or infused with the cannabidiol (CBD) which is a non-psychoactive compound extracted from the cannabis plant. Some studies believe that CBD edibles have a therapeutic effect and hence it is gaining high popularity in certain regions, especially in North America due to the positive effect they have when used in controlled environments. These edibles can be used for treating conditions like anxiety, and inflammation and may also provide pain relief. CBD edibles also offer discreteness in terms of CBD consumption.
The demand for CBD consumables is on the rise and is expected to soon become a nearly USD 200 billion industry until the end of the decade. However, more research is needed for CB edibles to attain the confidence that other food or beverage items have attained in the commercial world.

The global cannabis edibles market is projected to grow owing to rising health and wellness-related trends amongst the general population. Gone are the days when people solely relied on traditional means for achieving better health.
With the explosion of social media influences across channels like Youtube and Instagram, the number of people providing scientifically-backed information on a holistic approach to health has increased over the years. This has resulted in mass awareness about the non-traditional ways of managing certain mental conditions causing more demand for CBD edibles.
Furthermore, the otherwise recreational plant is gaining a lot of attention from the research community that is investing multiple resources in learning about future applications of cannabis and induced edibles.
In addition to this, the changing mindset and perception of people regarding cannabis may work in the favor of the industry. Moreover, rising rates of legalization in some parts of the world allowing prescribed consumption of cannabis edibles may also result in higher revenue.
The global industry is plagued with large-scale negative perceptions amongst the medical community along with the general population. Even if the awareness rate around the advantages of CBD edibles is growing, a large section of the target consumer groups has negative recognition of cannabis in general. This acts as a roadblock for the market players to tap into new markets.
Additionally, the lack of standardization of regulations surrounding the production of CBD edibles and their distribution may impact the CAGR of the market. Moreover, CBD edibles are generally considered safe for use but if consumed irresponsibly, they may lead to severe health concerns and addiction.
The growing awareness may provide excellent growth opportunities while the lack of standard regulatory measures could challenge market growth.
Segmental Overview:

Regional Overview:
The global cannabis edibles market is projected to register the highest growth in North America since it already has an established consumer database in the regions of the US and Canada. One important aspect for higher growth is the increased rate of legalization for the commercial sale of CBD edibles along with the rising number of players offering a variety of products across the price range, tastes, shapes, flavors, and designs. Moreover, these consumables have a better acceptance in North America as compared to other regions.
Although discreet consumption of CBD edibles in Asia-Pacific and Europe is surging, the products have not received the necessary legal approvals in these regions to be sold as any other edible product. In Asia-Pacific, the market is highly regulated and faces strict laws banning the production and consumption of the products.
