Palm Beach, FL – May 26, 2021 – Cannabis extracts have gained wide recognition in recent years and are expected to provide impetus to cannabis market growth. Growing legalization of cannabis in various countries, preference for cannabis oil and tinctures, and adoption of medical marijuana for treating chronic diseases like arthritis, anxiety, and Alzheimer’s are the major factors propelling the growth. The global cannabis extract market size is expected to be valued at USD 28.5 billion by 2027, according to a new report published by Grand View Research, Inc. It is projected to expand at a CAGR of 16.6% over the forecast period.  Based on product type, cannabis extracts are classified into oils and tinctures. The oils segment is expected to dominate the market in 2019 with a revenue of USD 4.8 billion and is anticipated to witness the fastest CAGR of 17.5%, over the forecast period. Based on extract type, the market is segmented into full spectrum cannabis extracts and cannabis isolates. The full spectrum cannabis extracts dominated the market in 2019, with a revenue of USD 4.3 billion, owing to the added advantage of the entourage effect. Various manufacturers prefer full spectrum cannabis products owing to their advantages over the isolates. Thus, the segment is expected to remain dominant over the forecast period.    Active companies in news today include:  Canopy Growth Corporation (NASDAQ: CGC) (TSX: WEED), Eco Innovation Group, Inc. (OTCPK: ECOX), Tilray, Inc. (NASDAQ: TLRY), Aurora Cannabis Inc. (NYSE: ACB) (TSX: ACB), Sundial Growers Inc. (NASDAQ: SNDL).

Another report from Data Bridge said that the CBD Oil Extract market will emerge rapidly from 2021 to 2027. The report said: “Out of all cannabinoids, cannabidiol is most widely used for therapeutic reasons due to the lack of psychoactive effects. In many medical applications, cannabidiol oil is used, such as anxiety and depression treatment, stress relief, diabetes prevention, pain relief, cancer symptom relief, and inflammation. Due to the increasing adoption of CBD-based products to treat ailments, the global cannabidiol market is anticipated to grow at a lucrative rate over the forecast period.  Cannabidiol derived from hemp is anticipated to witness rapid growth owing to increasing demand from the pharmaceutical sector and rising awareness among consumers regarding health. Increasing consumer disposable income along with the legalization of medicinal cannabis is anticipated to have a positive impact on the demand for cannabidiol in the pharmaceutical sector. Oils, tinctures, concentrate, capsules, topical solutions such as slaves, lip balms, lotions, and edibles such as baked goods, coffee, chocolates, gums, and candies are some of the CBD products which are in high demand.”

Eco Innovation Group, Inc. (OTCPK: ECOX) BREAKING NEWS – Eco Innovation Group Signs Definitive Agreement and Commences Manufacturing of Next-Gen Supercritical Plant Extraction Device  – Eco Innovation Group, Inc. (OTCPK: ECOX) (“ECOX” or the “Company”), an innovative company aggregating investments in new technologies that promote environmental and social well-being and the advancement of green energy solutions, announced today it has signed a Definitive Agreement with Fluitron, Inc. (“Fluitron”), and has commenced production for the development and manufacturing of a fully functional prototype based on the specialized non-CO2 novel supercritical extraction technology exclusively licensed to ECOX by Glytech, LLC (“Glytech”).

Fluitron Inc., a Pennsylvania-based advanced pressure technology manufacturing company is manufacturing the prototype of the patent-pending extraction technology for ECOX.

Unlike current technology in the marketplace, this technology utilizes a non-CO₂ solvent and cofactors to extract selected bioactive compounds from plant materials. The result is an extracted fluid superior in viscosity to the output of current CO₂ -based extraction methods, while streamlining time, energy, and capital costs.

According to ECOX, this technology allows for larger yields in a more affordable process. It makes extraction more efficient and more consistent. This will allow customers to get the same product every time which is not currently the case with current extraction methods in use today including super critical C02.  With a more fluid solution that is created by super critical extraction, it is expected that one can automate the process.   It is expected that this technology will generate lower overhead costs to manufacturers and creates better overall yields.

Julia Otey-Raudes, President and CEO of Eco Innovation Group, said, “We are extremely pleased to have achieved this important milestone and now that we have begun the manufacturing process, we’re really excited to get this first one finished, and to show it to the world later this year.  This has blockbuster potential and represents a huge opportunity for ECOX and businesses that move quickly to recognize this potential early to gain tremendous competitive advantage.”

This next generational technology is ideal for extraction technology for high-value plant-based products including licensed cannabis extraction products, and active compounds for the pharmaceutical, cosmetic, nutraceutical and other markets.  Read more about ECOX by visiting:  https://www.ecoig.com/
