Market Overview

Tetrahydrocannabinol, or THC, is the psychoactive component found in cannabis-infused beverages. Acquired from dispensaries or online, these beverages include alcohol, caffeine, or other cannabis derivatives combined with varying concentrations of THC. The market for THC-infused products, such as seltzers, is growing rapidly as more states legalize and regulate the sale and use of cannabis. This change in regulations not only creates new markets but also normalizes cannabis use, lowering stigma and boosting acceptability among consumers. Technology developments in cannabis infusion and extraction procedures are also a major factor propelling the THC seltzer market. For example, advances in nano emulsion technology have made THC more soluble and bioavailable in water-based drinks, providing a steady dosage and a more predictable start of action. The growing popularity of micro dosing is another significant development. To maximize the benefits of THC without experiencing its potent excited effects, consumers are becoming increasingly interested in ingesting small, controlled doses of the plant.

Market Segmentation

The THC seltzers market share is classified into THC content, flavor, and distribution channel.

• The 5+ mg THC segment accounted for the largest market revenue share over the forecast period.

Based on the THC content, the THC seltzers market is categorized into 1-2.5 mg THC, 2.5-5 mg THC, and 5+ mg THC. Among these, the 5+ mg THC segment accounted for the largest market revenue share over the forecast period. A 5+ mg or higher seltzer offers an adequate compromise between getting the required effects and avoiding the need for multiple servings. This intensity level is a popular choice in the market since it appeals to individuals who desire a potent but controllable experience.

• The flavored segment is estimated to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period.

Based on the flavor, the THC seltzers market is categorized into unflavored and flavored. Among these, the flavored segment is estimated to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period.

Conversely, flavored THC seltzers provide a delightful and reviving flavor that might cover the earthy undertones of cannabis.

• The off-trade segment holds the highest market share through the forecast period.

THC seltzers are primarily sold through off-trade channels such as grocery stores, physical stores, and internet retailers because of their ease of use and accessibility. Customers would rather be able to buy these products while they go shopping regularly, adding THC seltzers to their carts with other household products and groceries.
