Top European trends for 2022
In the immediate term, inhalable and topical (cosmetic) product types, and the companies excelling in these segments, are likely to increase their share of the market in the region, with ingestible – primarily tinctures and capsules – making a comeback when Novel Food – authorized products begin to circulate in the market. With market behemoths Germany and the UK, as well as various others such as Austria, Spain, and France, moving to enforce Novel Food regulations, it looks likely that the majority of European nations will follow suit and implement similar regulations in time, posing further challenges for ingestible CBD companies looking to continue operating outside this framework in Europe.
It seems plausible that progressive legislative changes in the aforementioned countries could start an adult-use legalization domino effect across Europe, in a similar way to what we have witnessed with medical cannabis in Europe and adult-use cannabis in the US.
Prohibition Partners is getting in on the prognostication game highlighting its top trends for 2021 and what to watch for in 2022, including:
• Adult-use legalization
• Brand-building and equity
• Increased normalization
• Clarity on the regulations and stability in capital markets

CBD-Intel believes capsules, with their standard dosing, instruction-free use, and inoffensive profile, will overtake cumbersome and potentially unpleasant oils as the most popular product category with CBD consumers in the US and other markets. CBD-Intel also predicts that topicals and cosmetics will continue to forge ahead, reaching $650m and $600m in the US by 2024. Nate Erskine, CBD-Intel head market analyst, said: “Expect the rise of capsules and the continued success of the cosmetics and topicals categories to be the dominant market overview headlines for the next few years. Continued pressure on edibles, coupled with growing interest in sports and beauty applications, will help to fuel the continued rise of topicals as well as cosmetics, while companies will start to embrace capsules more and more as they seek to attract more of the hump of never-use CBD consumers to try products for the first time. “Continued ease of use, combined with attractive pricing, will help convert those first-timers into regular users – though those who take CBD on a daily basis for health and wellness benefits may only move around within the capsule category and not move to try other products types.”
