The Continued Growth of Legal Cannabis Revenues

NEW YORK, April 6, 2017 /PRNewswire/ --

FinancialBuzz.com News Commentary  

New Frontier Data, a provider of analysis and reporting for the cannabis industry, recently announced that the legal cannabis market was worth an estimated $7.2 billion in 2016. In addition, the legal cannabis market is projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 17%, or a decline from 28% CAGR in 2016. The medical market is projected to grow at 13% CAGR through 2025, growing from $4.7 billion in 2016 to an estimated $13.3 billion in 2020. During the same period, adult use sales are projected to grow at a 25% CAGR, from $2.6 billion to $11.2 billion. SinglePoint, Inc. (OTC: SING), Medicine Man Technologies Inc. (OTC: MDCL), Growblox Sciences Inc. (OTC: GBLX), MassRoots, Inc. (OTC: MSRT), Eco Science Solutions Inc. (OTC: ESSI).

"These numbers confirm that cannabis is a major economic driver and job creation engine for the U.S. economy," said Giadha Aguirre De Carcer, Founder and CEO of New Frontier Data. "While we see a potential drop in total number of U.S. jobs created in 2017, as reported by Kiplinger, as well as an overall expected drop in GDP growth, the cannabis industry continues to be a positive contributing factor to growth at a time of potential decline. We expect the cannabis industry's growth to be slowed down to some degree in the next 3 to 5 years, however with a projected total market sales to exceed $24 billion by 2025, and the possibility of almost 300,000 jobs by 2020, it remains a positive economic force in the U.S."

SinglePoint, Inc.  (OTC: SING) is a holding company specialized in the acquisition of small to mid-sized companies. On March 14th the company announced that, "It has closed its first round of funding to acquire a portion of Jacksam Corp., DBA Convectium, the developer of a unique oil filling system poised to revolutionize the cannabis market. Convectium projects full-year 2017 sales of $3.5 million, a triple-digit increase over the year prior. The acquisition represents the first of many strategic investments SinglePoint intends to make to diversify its revenue streams in the multi-billion dollar cannabis industry."

"As previously announced, SinglePoint will invest a stock and cash consideration totaling $800,000 to help fund the growth of Convectium and the marketing of its revolutionary 710Shark and 710Seal system. Developed by Convectium, the system is capable of filling and packaging more than 100 cartridges or disposable vape pens in 30 seconds, making it the fastest and only filling and sealing system of its kind. Convectium also offers a line of B2C products, which SinglePoint will sell online through its SingleSeed.com subsidiary."

"We have evaluated numerous investment prospects in the cannabis space, and found there is nothing that compares to this opportunity we have with Convectium," states SinglePoint CEO, Greg Lambrecht. "With this transaction, we will acquire a stake in a cannabis business that never touches a marijuana plant. This is the strategy we will use as we move forward to hedge us against changing federal and state laws."
