The coronavirus pandemic has undoubtedly changed the way that many businesses do business. It has even stopped many businesses from doing business altogether.
While some CBD-related businesses were forced to close during social distancing measures, others were rapidly evaluating new opportunities to capitalize on the situation like selling high-demand products like hand sanitizer and more.
According to a recent research report from Grand View Research, the global hand sanitizer market was valued at $2.7 billion USD in 2019 and is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 22.6% from 2020 to 2027. Combine that with the CBD industry, which was valued at $4.6 billion USD in 2018 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 22.2% until 2025, and you’ve got a massive potential for product sales.
Out of the hundreds of cannabis-related stocks we track, there have already been at least seven different CBD stocks that announced sanitizer-related products or ventures. In alphabetical order, here they are:
