Reports Pointing To Impressive Growth For Global Cannabis Industry

Financialnewsmedia.com News Commentary

The global cannabis industry is enjoying explosive growth. Hemp-derived cannabidiol (CBD) alone could become a $22 billion market by 2022, according to Brightfield Group, while the marijuana market could one day reach $166 billion in annual sales, according to Bank of America BAC. Analysts at Piper Jaffray say we could be looking at a global market value of between $250 billion to $500 billion a year in the long term and to be worth $15 billion to $50 billion in the nearer term.“We believe the long-term growth can be significant — both from transitioning illicit trade to legal sales, medical sales, and from transitioning sales in health [and] wellness categories to CBD-infused products.”

Some of the top companies in the industry include RavenQuest BioMed Inc. RVVQF, OrganiGram Holdings Inc. OGI, Harvest One Cannabis Inc. HVT, The Green Organic Dutchman Holdings Ltd. TGODF, and The Supreme Cannabis Company Inc. SPRWF.

RavenQuest BioMed Inc. RVVQF: RavenQuest BioMed Inc. just announced that it signed a Heads of Agreement with Norway’s Cannabis BioCare A to enter into a joint venture to construct cannabis production facilities using RavenQuest's Orbital Garden grow technology in certain geographic regions. It is anticipated that production facilities will be constructed within twenty-four months, with the capacity to produce up to 35,000 kilograms of cannabis annually.

“Our organization has quietly and patiently conducted research as a pre-cursor to entry into the global cannabis marketplace. Our due diligence process has been exhaustive and has involved conversations with several Canadian cannabis companies including five companies with market capitalizations in the billions of dollars. Ultimately, we chose to partner with one of the most scientific, innovative and fundamentally sound cannabis projects worldwide, namely RavenQuest BioMed,” said Cannabis Biocare founder, Gerhard Ludvigsen.
