This facility, developed on time and within budget, allows Flora to capitalize on the rapidly expanding demand for cannabis-infused beverages, a sector showing strong potential for growth.

Leveraging Proven Technology For Competitive Advantage

With the facility boasting over 100 formulations, Flora aims to power major cannabis brands and replicate Peak’s success in the Canadian beverage market.

THC-Infused Beverages: A Growing Sector

The U.S. THC-infused beverage market, currently accounting for around 1% to 3% of cannabis sales, is poised for significant growth. As consumers increasingly seek alternatives to alcohol, the cannabis beverage sector has gained traction, particularly among premium retailers such as Total Wine and ABC, which have begun dedicating sections to THC-infused products.

Data Bridge Market Research projects the U.S. cannabis beverage market to reach half a billion dollars by 2030, with a CAGR of 14.7%.

Flora’s new facility positions the company to meet that increasing demand.
