Regulations to settle and even boost the hemp CBD market are going nowhere, profits are down amid lower price points, yet frothy product innovation continues apace. Companies with forward-looking channel strategies that were winning in e-commerce before Covid hit have prospered. Delivery format shifts to gummies and topicals are how consumers take CBD today, as sloppy, old-school oils in tincture bottles are taking a hit. And many smaller mom-and-pops that did not invest in quality are fading away. Learn where the opportunities exist today—and tomorrow.
