Negative impact on the cannabis-based alcoholic beverages market

The demand for cannabis based alcoholic beverages decreased during the pandemic owing to the fear of consuming cold beverages resulting to health issues. Governments of various countries have imposed strict lockdown and social distancing measures across the world. Market closures, diminished eating-out trends, and the dampened demand for cold beverages have resulted in the aggravation of the market. The food services sector and other food businesses such as the bakery sector, beverage servings, and dairy are facing a huge decline in their revenue generation since January 2020, thereby resulting in the less sales of cannabis beverages.

Due to the lockdown, the biggest issue which was generated in this industry was supply chain disruption. Mostly, seeds and other products related to cannabis are imported from one country to other.

As supply chain disruption took place, the cannabis and related products import got decreased which has ultimately impacted the market growth. Another factor that has impacted the market is consumer behavior. Consumers are also not able to receive the products or seeds due to a lack in the supply chain. For instance, patients with health issues are facing delays in the procurement of medicines of medical cannabis.
