Welcome to the latest insights at GrowthStalk! We're excited to share a transformative shift in consumer behavior that aligns with our vision of a healthier, happier society. A recent report by TD Cowen, a leading analyst in cannabis equity, reveals a significant trend: a growing preference for cannabis over alcohol among consumers.
Shift from Alcohol to Cannabis:
Statistics Speak: Over the past five years, alcohol sales in states with legal cannabis have underperformed by 100-150 basis points. This shift indicates a significant change in consumer preferences, with cannabis emerging as a preferred choice.
Market Growth: Colorado's experience since legalizing retail cannabis is telling. The cannabis market now accounts for 11% of alcohol sales, up from 4% five years ago. This trend is expected to continue, highlighting a robust market for cannabis products.
Changing Consumer Habits:
Younger Generation Leading the Change: Among 18-25 year-olds, cannabis category retention has impressively grown to 68%, while alcohol retention has decreased. This demographic shift suggests a long-term trend favoring cannabis.
Healthier Choices: Consumers are increasingly choosing cannabis, with two-thirds reporting they've cut back on drinking. This choice reflects a shift towards healthier lifestyle options, aligning with GrowthStalk's commitment to wellness.
Economic Implications:
Industry Growth Projections: Analysts predict U.S. cannabis sales to grow at a 7% CAGR over the next five years, reaching $37 billion by 2027. This growth trajectory presents significant opportunities for companies like GrowthStalk.
Cannabis vs. Alcohol: While the alcohol category has traditionally grown at a 5% CAGR, the increasing preference for cannabis and sober lifestyles among younger consumers could impact this growth.
Future Outlook:
Expanding Markets: With new states legalizing adult-use cannabis, the market is set to expand further. This expansion reinforces our belief in the potential of the cannabis industry.
Daily Consumption Trends: Over 47% of cannabis consumers use it on a near-daily basis, indicating strong market retention and engagement.
