Distribution of Consumers in 2020
According to statistics, the global legal market sales in 2020 are $23.7B, the number of consumers is 286.1M; the adult use market is $13.4B; the medical market planning model is $10.2B, and the 5-year legal market compound annual growth rate is 16.62% (2020-2025 ); the illegal market other than that is $391B, and the 5-year legal market is in line with an annual growth rate of 3.64% (2020-2025).
The share of 391B in the illegal market is larger than the sum of the other three markets, because the policies of many countries are still in the stage of trial and error, and laws and regulations are not perfect.

Retail Spending on Cannabis Foods
Compared with Europe and Asia, THC products in the United States are prevalent, and the CBD market share is not high, but sales are still high. The breakdown of retail spending on cannabis edibles has been mentioned in the table above. It is worth mentioning that the failure of the SAFE Banking event in the U.S. Senate (worth $33B in Congress, and large companies in the cannabis industry with 30K employees cannot obtain banking services, which will cause massive unemployment) has brought an unknown impact on the cannabis food and snacks industry. Especially in terms of the influence of public opinion, some people commented that "this is definitely a huge failure of the leadership of the Senate".
