]]>Ever since the enactment of the Farm Bill in December 2018, which reclassified hemp containing less than 0.3 THC per gram as a non-controlled substance and legalized the sale of CBD, there has been a great deal of excitement about CBD’s potential as a valuable functional ingredient. The CBD market has indeed experienced significant growth since 2019, but it has been hindered by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA)’s regulatory ambiguity. The consequences of this ongoing uncertainty are now starting to emerge within the market.
Upon the initial legalization of CBD for commercial sale, there was optimism that the FDA would swiftly establish a regulatory framework to govern this thriving market, despite existing legal obstacles. However, whether due to excessive enthusiasm leading to unrealistic expectations or the FDA’s sluggishness in taking action, little has changed since the market’s inception. As a result, both companies and consumers are understandably left in a state of confusion. It is to be noted that:
Despite CBD no longer being regulated by the DEA, it remains under the jurisdiction of the FDA. Adding complexity to the situation, the FDA had previously approved a CBD-based pharmaceutical drug called EPIDIOLEX before the passage of the 2018 Farm Bill. According to the FD&C Act, if a substance is an active ingredient in an approved drug or is being investigated as a new drug, it cannot be marketed as a dietary supplement or added to food, except for cosmetic products. As a result, the FDA has primarily focused on targeting companies that make explicit claims about CBD as a treatment for various conditions, issuing warning letters while overlooking those that don’t make such claims. Currently, the FDA does not believe there is enough evidence to change regulations and allow CBD in dietary supplements or food, leaving CBD in a legal gray area.
A significant consequence of this regulatory uncertainty is that CBD companies still lack access to major U.S. retailers. Retail giants like Walmart, Target, and Amazon have chosen to refrain from selling CBD products due to concerns about FDA compliance. Since Amazon and Walmart alone account for approximately one-fifth of all retail sales, the absence of these markets severely hampers CBD sales. Consequently, the online market has become the primary channel for CBD sales, particularly through direct-to-consumer sales on CBD company portals, facilitated by the surge in e-commerce during the COVID-19 pandemic.
One notable example is Charlotte’s Web, which currently holds the largest market share in the industry. The company gained recognition from the story of a young girl with severe epilepsy who experienced significant symptom improvement after using their high-CBD, low-THC cannabis strain, originally known as “Hippie’s Disappointment,” due to its non-psychoactive effects. Despite being an early entrant in the market, Charlotte’s Web-only commands a 2.3% market share.
When the CBD market emerged following the passage of the 2018 Farm Bill, experts projected a period of rapid and remarkable growth. Indeed, the market swiftly expanded to a value exceeding four billion U.S. dollars. However, the optimistic outlook for the industry has shifted, and unless regulatory changes occur, the market is anticipated to stagnate.
Several crucial sales channels remain inaccessible to CBD products, impeding market growth. Companies operating within the confines of the law face limitations on the types of products they can offer. These restrictions hinder their ability to capitalize on the market’s potential fully.
E-commerce has emerged as the dominant sales channel for CBD, accounting for sales surpassing $2B in 2021. More than one-third of total CBD sales occurred through online channels during that year. The strength of online CBD sales can be attributed to multiple factors. Firstly, brick-and-mortar retailers remain cautious about stocking CBD products, limiting their availability in physical stores. Additionally, the growth of the CBD market coincided with the COVID-19 pandemic, which led to increased online shopping overall. Many leading CBD companies have adapted to this landscape by focusing on direct-to-consumer sales, as major e-commerce platforms like Amazon prohibit the sale of CBD products.
Despite the uncertain outlook for the CBD market, we can shed light on the characteristics and behaviors of consumers within the market. It appears that the controversies surrounding CBD’s legal status, coupled with significant events that coincided with its entry into the market, have led to widespread awareness among consumers in the United States. Many individuals have already experimented with CBD products, reflecting a considerable level of consumer adoption.
Indeed, it is important to consider the timing of CBD’s entry into the market, which occurred shortly before the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. This temporal correlation could help explain the association between the demographic that comprises the majority of CBD users and the reasons behind their CBD usage.
Given that CBD gained traction during a time of heightened anxiety and stress caused by the pandemic, it is plausible that individuals of working age, who are seeking products to help them cope with difficult times, make up a significant portion of CBD consumers. The potential therapeutic properties of CBD, such as its purported ability to alleviate anxiety or aid in relaxation, may have resonated with individuals seeking relief during the challenging circumstances brought on by the pandemic.
The demographic profile of CBD users is typically younger individuals who are not teenagers but have not yet reached middle age. This age group is typically expected to be in the prime of their lives, juggling careers and families. Interestingly, CBD users often turn to CBD to address quality-of-life issues such as stress and poor sleep, which are frequently interconnected. This trend may be influenced by the decline in mental health experienced by working-age adults in the United States during the peak years of the pandemic. The combination of concerns about the safety of loved ones, children and the instability of employment and finances may have led many consumers to seek a product like CBD that promises to alleviate their mental distress without the associated health risks of other stress-relieving options.
It’s important to note that not all CBD use can be attributed solely to the pandemic’s impact. Many consumers may have turned to CBD as an alternative to pharmaceutical drugs that often come with unwanted side effects. CBD, derived from a plant, is perceived as a healthier option for addressing similar problems.
The popularity of tinctures as the preferred product format for CBD reflects both the perceived medical benefits of CBD and the fact that tinctures are fully legal products. Many companies are more likely to market tinctures, as opposed to infused foods, to avoid potential regulatory action from the FDA.

]]>The remote helpdesk market is a fast-growing business in the IT industry. The market is expected to grow at a rate of 7.3% per year and reach $12.3 billion by 2023, according to research firm IDC’s annual estimates for the global remote help desk (RHD) market. It’s projected to reach $16.3 billion by 2027 — meaning it will be worth more than half of all software sales that year!

Remote help desks are especially useful when companies grow quickly and build offices in far-flung locations. Employees can work from home, which helps them maintain strong connections with their families. Additionally, the fact that employees don’t have to commute means they’re more likely to take vacations or spend time with loved ones at home.
Many companies offer remote help-desk services. Outsourcing your help desk is a good choice when you have many locations because it can be expensive to hire and manage an in-house staff. It’s also helpful if you’re trying to save money during lean times or have too much business for your current in-house help desk team, which can be hard on employees’ mental health and productivity levels.
Some businesses outsource their remote assistance because they don’t want the added stress that comes with managing multiple locations at once—or because they don’t have time or resources to do so themselves.
Outsourcing your help desk can reduce personnel costs, improve your service level agreement (SLA), and avoid problems when employees leave. For example, suppose you have a large team of employees responsible for answering customer calls but are not trained in the latest technology or software applications. In that case, you may be spending money on replacing them without realizing it. By outsourcing some of these tasks to an independent contractor or a third-party provider whose employees are trained in those areas and can offer superior customer service—and at a lower cost than hiring new staff members—you’re saving money while improving service levels across all of your departments.
Before you outsource your support needs, it’s essential to research the vendor thoroughly. Each vendor has different processes and policies for handling customer inquiries, billing issues, and more. Make sure you understand their service level agreement (SLA), security policies, support policies, and pricing structure before signing on any dotted lines.
Remote help desk service is an excellent way for companies to reduce their personnel costs and improve the quality of service they offer. When you outsource your IT support, you’ll no longer need to hire or manage staff in-house. This can help save money for both parties—the vendor will pay for itself over time, while you won’t have to worry about a sudden influx of hires at a bad time (like during tax season).
There are also benefits of hiring a remote help desk:
The remote help-desk market is one of the fastest-growing parts of IT. It’s a great option for companies that need to expand their operations but don’t want to hire more employees or move into new locations. Remote support can be more cost-effective than traditional visits because it doesn’t require travel expenses or time off work. The market is also growing steadily because more people are turning to technology as an essential part of their daily lives. These factors will continue pushing demand higher in 2023 and beyond!

]]>The post Healthcare Recruitment Market Size – Permanent and Temporary Staffing appeared first on DP Research.
]]>The healthcare recruitment market is a vital part of the overall healthcare industry. It is crucial to ensure that hospitals, clinics, and other healthcare facilities have the skilled and qualified staff they need to provide top-quality care to their patients. As per my recent research, the US healthcare recruitment market size was valued at $28.5B in 2021 and is estimated to grow at a CAGR of around 9.9%, reaching $50B+ by 2025. The US healthcare recruitment includes both permanent and temporary staffing. However, temporary staffing dominates the market with an 85% market share. Permanent recruitment services only constitute 15% of the market.
Several factors have contributed to the growth of the healthcare recruitment market in recent years. One of the main drivers has been the increasing demand for healthcare professionals due to an aging population and the increasing prevalence of chronic diseases. As more people require healthcare services, the demand for qualified healthcare workers has also increased.
Another factor contributing to the growth of the healthcare recruitment market is the shortage of qualified healthcare professionals in certain areas. In many parts of the world, there are not enough healthcare workers to meet the demand, which has led to a shortage of nurses, doctors, and other healthcare professionals. This shortage has made it difficult for healthcare facilities to fill open positions, which has led to an increase in demand for healthcare recruitment services.
Several different types of healthcare professionals are in high demand in the healthcare recruitment market. These include (by ranking) – Nurse Practitioners, Family Medicine, Radiology, Psychiatry, Obstetrics/Gynecology, Internal Medicine, and Anesthesiology.
The healthcare recruitment market is a competitive one, with many different companies offering recruitment services to healthcare facilities. These companies use various methods to attract and retain top talent, including offering competitive salaries and benefits packages, providing training and development opportunities, and promoting a positive work culture. Top 5 Companies by market share include AMN Healthcare (12%), CHG Healthcare Services (10%), Jackson Healthcare, Medical Solutions, and Cross Country Healthcare.

]]>The post Table order apps and restaurant management software market appeared first on DP Research.
]]>Table order apps and websites are part of the overall Frontend Restaurant Management Software market, growing at a CAGR of 13.3%. The table order technology also referred to as in-venue order, on-table order, etc., includes Apps (Native or Aggregator) and QR Codes.
With the onset of Covid-19, many people, want social distancing, and so there is a massive surge in the usage of table order tech, including QR Codes. As per a report by But.ly, QR code downloads have soared 750% over the last 18 months. The total addressable market for the Table App Tech is $12.25B, and the market size (i.e., SAM) is $2.4B. The US is the largest market, with a market share of 32%. China, Japan, and India follow this with respective market shares of 20%, 13.1%, and 6.2%. Israel is a relatively more minor market with a TAM of only $24M and a market size of only $4.5M.
As per a few reports, the key benefits of a table app are an increase in revenue, fewer errors, better operation, and high table turnover time; however, challenges like Cybersecurity and connectivity are also cited.
The table order app/QR Code market is flooded with several small vendors, with StoreKit, GoodTill, TabTable, and Dines being popular. None of the competitors is an exclusive QR Code/App provider. Instead, they offer a suite of frontend platforms/modules for restaurants. Most vendors in this space offer a transaction-based cost structure. The average charge per transaction is 1.7% (of this, an average of 1.3% is paid to the credit card companies). Some vendors also offer caps on the total transaction cost per month, which becomes their value proposition.
The Funding Trend in the table order app/QR Code market is negligible, and most of the companies identified are not funded. Hence there is a challenge for a new company to convince investors about the prospect of this market.
Table Order is part of the overall restaurant management software market. The global restaurant management software is a $3.5B market and will reach $6.5B by 2026 at a CAGR of 13.3%. Israel is 1% of the global software market and will be worth $65M in 2026.
The frontend software segment accounts for the majority of this market, with a projected share of 58% by 2025.
This segment includes software for “food ordering, billing, payment processing, customer interaction, tracking sales, order management reporting, and marketing.”
As the threat of Covid is subsiding, many customers are now going out to restaurants; however, the restaurants are facing an acute shortage of staff. The reason for staff shortage include:

]]>The post Market Research on Australian Car Wash Industry appeared first on DP Research.
]]>The Car Wash and detailing services market is a US$471M market, and it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 2.7% post covid (2021 – 22 onwards), reaching US$525M by 2025. Currently, the market is witnessing a decline due to adverse economic conditions related to the COVID-19 outbreak, and the revenue declined by 16.4% as projected in 2021. Falling discretionary incomes (due to job loss) and a decline in average weekly hours worked have also contributed to the industry’s poor performance. These trends have encouraged more consumers to save money and wash their vehicles at home. However, increased consumer environmental awareness regarding the high-water consumption and potential pollution caused by washing vehicles at home has supported demand for industry services over the period.
In terms of segments, self-service bay and in-bay automatic Car Wash are the most popular ones in Australia. The household with the highest income quintile and the private sector is the most active end users.
Several macro factors will also drive the industry growth in the next few years. These factors include the total number of motor vehicles, the average age of these vehicles, real household discretionary income, water availability, etc. Unlike Australia, the US and European Car Wash industries are way bigger. Per an estimate, the US Car Wash industry is 20 times that of Australia and is worth US$10B. Both Europe and the US also employ way more people compared to Australia. Per a report by IBIS, Both Europe and the US generate 30 times more employment compared to Australia.
The market for Car Wash in Australia is highly fragmented, with no major player dominating the same. Magic hand Car Wash, BP Australia, and Coles group are the key vendors.
Revenue for the Car Wash and Detailing Services industry in Australia is expected to decline at a rate of 2.4% over the five years through 2020-21, to US$456M. This decline can largely be attributed to the COVID-19 pandemic, as restrictions on movement, gatherings, and economic disruption are anticipated to constrain industry demand. Falling discretionary incomes and a decline in average weekly hours worked have also contributed to the industry’s performance over the past five years. These trends have encouraged more consumers to save money and wash their vehicles at home. However, increased consumer environmental awareness regarding the high-water consumption and potential pollution caused by washing vehicles at home has supported demand for industry services.
The market is anticipated to pick up from 2021 – 22 onwards, growing at a CAGR of 2.7%, reaching US$525M by 2025. Rising discretionary incomes are expected to drive industry revenue growth over the period. However, increased urbanization trends are projected to limit industry growth as more consumers reduce car travel in favor of public transport. Industry automation is forecast to increase over the next five years, with in-bay automatic washes and conveyor tunnel washes becoming more popular with consumers. This trend is anticipated to support a rise in industry profitability.
As per IBIS, the market is fragmented, with 1.8K+ businesses employing 3.5K people. The average profit margin in this business is 7.2% in 2020. This has declined from 8.6% in 2015. 43% of car owners in Australia regularly use commercial Car Wash es

]]>While doing this research, to my surprise, I came to know about the illegal alcohol market in Latin America. It is a massive issue for LATAM countries and is approximately one-fourth of the overall alcohol market – around $267M in Ecuador, $361M in Peru, and $940M in Colombia.
Below is a sample graph for Ecuador.
The overall legal spirits market in Ecuador is $420M and is projected to reach $454M by 2025. The country’s wine market is negligible, and it is projected to reach only $25M by 2025. In 2018, 11% of the alcohol in the country was imported, and the remaining 89% was local.
The overall alcohol drink market for Peru is $6.4B. The market is expected to grow annually at 11.35% (CAGR 2021-2025). The largest segment is Beer, with a market volume of $3.6B in 2021. In Peru, the per person revenue of $190.47 will be generated in 2021.
As per an estimate, the Spirits market in Colombia is a $2.5B market and is projected to reach $3.8B by 2025. Unlike the other two countries, the Wine market of Colombia is extensive, and it is projected to reach $1B by 2025. The overall CAGR for alcohol beverages in the country is 10.2% YoY
Another critical thing to know about these markets is import duties. While in Peru and Colombia, there are only a few types of taxes like general rate, free consumption tax, municipal tax, VAT, and excise duties. In Ecuador, there are several other taxes like general rate, CORPEI, FODINFA, customs control fee, inspection fee, excise duty – ICE, other excise duties, and VAT. So, it becomes a little more complicated to import alcohol in Ecuador compared to Peru and Colombia.
