A comprehensive market analysis released this week projects the global CBD market will more than double in size over the next three years, driven by expanding legal frameworks and consumer adoption across North America and Europe.
The report, compiled by industry research firm Brightfield Group, shows that the current market valuation of approximately $15.8 billion is expected to accelerate to $34 billion by 2028. Key growth drivers include increased retail distribution, improved product quality standards, and growing integration into mainstream wellness categories.
North America remains the largest market, accounting for 65% of global CBD sales, but Europe is emerging as the fastest-growing region with a compound annual growth rate of 31%. The expansion is fueled by recent regulatory clarity in key markets, particularly in the UK and Germany, where CBD products are becoming increasingly available through traditional retail channels.
“We’re seeing the shift from niche product to mainstream wellness category,” said Bethany Gomez, director of research at Brightfield. “Distribution now mirrors the maturity of established supplements, which is a significant milestone.”
The landscape continues to evolve with mergers and acquisitions in the space. Major consumer goods companies have begun strategic investments, signaling confidence in long-term market viability.
