NEW YORK, February 12, 2018 /PRNewswire/ --

A recent report by Arcview Market Research indicates that consumer spending on legal cannabis in North America is outpacing previous estimates. The report projects that retail cannabis sales will grow 33% from 2016, to about $10 billion this year. The data published projects that by 2021 the legal cannabis market will reach a value of $24.5 billion and at a 28% compound annual growth rate (CAGR). A Major segment of the legal cannabis industry is the hemp-derived cannabidiol (CBD) market. According to a report by Forbes, Brightfield Group estimates that CBD sales have already hit $170 million in 2016 and at a 55% compound annual growth rate over the next five years the market will cross the billion-dollar mark.

In a report by Forbes, Director of Research at Brightfield Group, Bethany Gomez, explained, "One of the most surprising things we found during this research was how many companies are currently operating in the space, and how few of them are generating significant revenue. Essentially everyone is trying to do hemp, but only a handful is doing it well. It's seen as easy because it can be sold online but, with restrictions on traditional marketing, it is very difficult to connect with your core consumer and even communicate why they need your product"

Chineseinvestors.com, Inc. (OTCQB: CIIX) last week announced breaking news, "Its wholly-owned foreign enterprise CBD Biotechnology Co. Ltd. ('CBD Biotech') will launch 4 new hemp infused skin care products and a cutting-edge magnetic mask for the China Market in February 2018. The products have been approved for sale in China by the China Food and Drug Administration ('CFDA'). In November 2017, CBD Biotech launched its successful CBD Magic Hemp Series, an affordable hemp-infused skincare line which gained huge recognition thanks to the online beauty influencer, The Godfather of Beauty.  

CBD Biotech follows this successful product introduction with the launch of the new 'Live Oxygen' series, a luxury skincare line that uses nanotechnology to penetrate the skin more effectively and is designed to maximize anti-aging effects and to restore the skin's youthful glow. These products are designed to be safe for all skin types. The line includes:

- The CBD Bio Tech Live Oxygen Cleanser, a gentle daily cleanser;

- The CBD Bio Tech Live Oxygen Toner that hydrates the skin and balances oil, while minimizing pores;

- The CBD Bio Tech Live Oxygen Facial Lotion, a light daily moisturizer; and

- The CBD Bio Tech Live Oxygen Cream that provides a protective layer over the skin

In addition to the luxury Live Oxygen Series, CBD Biotech is launching the CBD Biotech Magnetic Mask, a leading-edge mask that utilizes magnet technology to create a low-grade electromagnetic current, which may help to rejuvenate when combined with its own blend of soothing, hydrating anti-inflammatory ingredients."

Summer Yun, CEO of CBD Biotechnology Co., Ltd., comments, "The growing Chinese middle-class has shown a desire for luxury skincare products. CBD Biotech is meeting market demands by offering cutting-edge products that use the latest skincare technologies and include our exclusive hemp infused formulas."

"CBD Biotech is establishing itself as a leader in the new hemp-infused skincare market in China and intends to grow its market share in the industry by continuing to expand its product lines, developing new, innovative products for target markets, and growing its online following through well-known, Chinese beauty influencers," he added.
