COLLABORATIVE INSIGHTS
February 25, 2019
To further reinforce how CBD has been gaining interest over time, we analyzed the historical number of hemp oil products offered by Amazon (AMZN, John Blackledge), where we can see a continued increase in the number of products sold. Indeed, six years ago, Amazon had been offering roughly 5,000 products, which has quadrupled to over 20,000 products today.

With reported CBD use skewing toward younger consumers, it is perhaps not surprising to see that CBD also over-indexes to lower-income consumers (where younger consumers generally have lower household incomes). What is more, CBD seems to be the most popular among Caucasians, following by Hispanic / Latino consumers. Meanwhile, CBD use is slightly more popular among women (7.0% incidence), vs. men (6.7% incidence).
