Cooper Ashely, a data analyst from Headset, explained that edibles advanced their market share from 10.65% in 2019 to 11.07% in 2020.

What caused the rush for edibles in 2020?

The global COVID-19 pandemic inspired consumers to avoid inhalable products and opt for edibles.

The newly-established enthusiasm for edibles is inspiring producers to further support research and development of new product types, according to Marijuana Business Daily.

“We’re seeing the edibles space get a little more sophisticated, and we expect that to continue,” Ashley said.
