The booming CBD and THC beverage market is rapidly emerging as one of the most dynamic categories in the beverage industry, offering a fresh alternative to traditional alcohol products. As consumer interest in wellness, relaxation, and alternative experiences grows, beverages infused with cannabinoids are gaining widespread popularity. These drinks, which offer a range of effects from relaxation to mild euphoria, are appealing to a broader demographic, including health-conscious consumers who may be seeking an alcohol substitute. For sellers of alcohol products, this presents a significant opportunity and challenge. The rise of CBD and THC beverages indicates shifting consumer preferences, and sellers need to pay close attention to this evolving category. By expanding their product offerings to include these innovative beverages, they can tap into a growing market, cater to diverse tastes, and stay competitive in an industry that is increasingly focusing on wellness-driven trends. www.DistributorPost.com #business #innovation #beverage #management #marketing #sales

Cannabis Beverage Sales Growth Slower Than Edibles Sales Growth While daily cannabis consumption now outpaces daily consumption of alcoholic beverages in the U.S., cannabis beverages continue to comprise a small percentage of the overall market. https://bit.ly/4b7Fi8S

Energy drink sales grew from $11.05B (2017) to $18.51B in 2023 and show no signs of slowing down as the go-to “pick me up” drink for many Americans. Since a popular trend is #energydrinks mixed with #alcohol, it is safe to assume that many people may be combining cannabis tinctures with their favorite high-octane beverage, too. A look at the effects of energy drinks on the human body and learn why it’s not safe to make #cannabis #cocktails with them.

Cannabis-infused beverages are taking the industry by storm this year, positioning themselves as one of the fastest-growing segments in cannabis. Advances in emulsification technology have significantly improved the absorption of cannabinoids in these beverages, making them fast-acting and offering a more predictable experience for consumers. This is a huge shift from traditional edibles or smoking, as people look for healthier, more sophisticated ways to incorporate cannabis into their lifestyle. It's a trend that mirrors the rise of Athletic or non-alcoholic beer in the spirits industry, where consumers are prioritizing wellness and mindful consumption. With major brands investing in this space and product offerings ranging from energy drinks and sparkling waters to relaxation teas, it seems like cannabis beverages are on track to make an impact. Do you think cannabis beverages will be the biggest growth product in 2025? Is this a trend that’s here to stay, or just a passing phase? #CannabisBeverages #CannabisTrends #CannabisMarket

What does 2025 look like for Adult Beverages? See the report here from IWSR, tells a fairly optimistic story. The non-alcohol, mock-tails and THC infused drinks will continue to grow at a much faster rate than traditional alcohol beverages. I think here the real important message about the role of manufacturers, distributors, retailers, on-premise consumption venues, proper regulation and technology etc.. is whats missing here. We all have a role in our industries to bring to consumers the best products made in the most responsible and sustainable way. We need great products made with superior transparency.

🍹🌿 Cannabis beverages are gaining interest in the cocktail scene, but it's important to navigate the complexities of federal legality and regulation. Despite state-level legalization, cannabis remains federally prohibited, and the FDA lacks funding for oversight and hasn't established a safe dosage level. Both cannabis and alcohol are depressants, so it's crucial to focus on one as the lead ingredient in your beverages. Mixing the two can lead to intensified effects, which isn't ideal for patrons. Opt for non-alcoholic beverages that showcase cannabis instead.
