Cannabis Predictions for 2020
With so many obstacles already overcome, what more can be in store for this blossoming industry? According to an article at GreenEntrepreneur titled “20 Bold Predictions for the Cannabis Industry in 2020,” there is plenty more on the horizon. Here are a few highlights we found:
- Growth will be slow, but profits won’t: Several opinions suggested that many cannabis companies will choose to shift their focus from that of growth to making choices that will result in a stronger business position. The customer will ultimately benefit from the innovation and product effectiveness that will follow.
- Better experience for the consumer: Several contributors suggested that many entrepreneurs will spend time making the overall customer experience better. Personalized purchasing through digital check-in systems and faster onset times of edibles are a couple of examples given.
- Companies will be in a do or die situation: For those businesses that are not yet making a profit, they may not last. The ones who are making a net profit, building their brand, and finding ways to be more sustainable will only strengthen their position in the market. We may see more consolidation among the farm industry.
- Regulations may tighten without squelching: Testing requirements for laboratories will get stricter, especially as best practices evolve. The FDA will provide more guidance and clarity around the concentration limits for the retail consumer.
- Education will be a priority. There are still many misperceptions in the industry. Companies trying to gain the trust of the consumer will work harder to test their product to ensure their safety.
