What are the Key Growth Drivers of Cannabis Infused Drinks Market?

Manufacturers of cannabis infused drinks are putting more efforts for creating proper emulsification of THC, in a bid to achieve proper suspension within liquids and quicker uptake time - under 30 minutes. This falls in line with the consumer demand for faster feedback on their dosage, which in turn will favor sales of cannabis infused drinks. Leading beverage companies have taken notice of the ravenous appetite of consumers that exists inside the cannabis culture, thereby transitioning into cannabis infused drinks industry.

Established beverage companies as well as entrepreneurs are taking a close peek into formulas and methods for infusing CBD or THC or both into beverages.
