A major factor contributing to this market expansion is the increasing demand for industrial hemp across various sectors, including food and beverage, textiles, and dietary supplements. Industrial hemp is renowned for its numerous nutritional and environmental benefits. The surge in consumer interest in health and wellness has spurred greater demand for hemp-based food and drink products, nutritional supplements, and hemp oil, which is also gaining traction in cosmetics and personal care products due to its antioxidant properties. This growing consumer awareness and demand for health-oriented products are key drivers of the industrial hemp market's growth.
