NEW YORK, October 4, 2017 /PRNewswire/ --

A market report by Ameri Research Inc. indicates that the global legal cannabis market was valued at $14.3 billion in 2016 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 21.1% from 2017 to 2024. During the forecast period, the projected demand of cannabis will continue to rise for both recreational and medical use with estimated global sales value to reach $63.5 billion. A major component of the legal cannabis industry is the CBD market. Matt Karnes of Greenwave Advisors has commented about the growth of the CBD market saying, "In terms of the CBD market size, I estimate an almost $3 billion market by 2021. Right now, there are 15 states that allow CBD only - this is in addition to the 28 states plus DC that have legalized medical marijuana," Forbes reported.

Including the illicit market, consumer spending on cannabis in North America amounted to an estimated $56.1 billion in 2016, 88% of it outside legal channels, according to data published by Arcview Market Research. "This enormous amount of illicit consumer spending sets cannabis apart from most other major consumer-market investment opportunities throughout history. In contrast to comparable markets which quickly grew from zero to tens of billions of dollars, such as organic foods, home video, cell phone, or the internet, the cannabis industry doesn't need to create demand for a new product or innovation - it just needs to move demand for an already widely popular product into legal channels. Troy Dayton, CEO of Arcview Market Research explained.

Chineseinvestors.com, Inc. (OTCQB: CIIX) just two days ago announced that it has, "appointed Skin Care Industry veteran and Shanghai beauty influencer, Fannie (Chun Fang) Tang as Marketing Director of its wholly-owned foreign enterprise, CBD Biotechnology Co., Ltd. effective immediately. Ms. Tang will report directly to CBD Biotechnology's CEO, Summer Yun, and will be responsible for developing and implementing branding strategies for CBD Biotechnology's CBD Magic Hemp Series skin care line in China. With over 20 years' experience in the industry, Tang was highlighted in the book entitled Shanghai Beauty 26 as a leading influencer in Shanghai's beauty culture. Ms. Tang served as the CEO of L.D. Waxson Group's China Division until it was acquired in 2012 by India's third largest software services provider, Wipro Limited, for $144 million. L.D. Waxson, a leading skin care company with manufacturing facilities in China and Malaysia, and a strong footprint in Singapore, Malaysia, China, Taiwan, Hong Kong and Thailand, reported revenues of approximately $68m prior to its acquisition in 2012. It's portfolio of brands included the skin care lines Bioessence and Ginvera, and Ebene, a popular healthcare brand."

"With over twenty years of marketing and branding experience in the skin care and cosmetics industry, I believe CBD Biotechnology is extremely fortunate to be working with Ms. Tang," says Yun. "Ms. Tang's concept of 'Beauty Derives from Nature and Creation' aligns with CBD Biotechnology's vision to develop an innovative, natural skin care band. Moreover, Ms. Tang has proven success in the industry in this region. Through her efforts, we are confident that CBD Biotechnology will position itself to become a leader in China's skin care industry."

In September 2017, CBD Biotechnology completed the filing process with the China Food & Drug Administration for its first three products in the CBD Magic Hemp Series line, namely the CBDBIO TECH Brightening and Refreshing Moisturizer, the CBDBIO TECH Perfecting Shield Primer, and the CBDBIO TECH Peptide Collagen Solution, which are expected to be formally launched this month. The CBD Magic Hemp Series skin care line will be marketed through multiple sales channels, including online sales, app sales, and third party distribution relationships with online celebrities and market influencers."
