According to The Council Responsible for Nutrition (CRN); along with, economic and market research reports conducted by leading sales and marketing firms, the Nutritional Supplement/Dietary industry in the United States is worth over $31 Billion. Over 50% of all Americans use some form of dietary supplement and it is estimated that approximately 40% of Americans use nutritional supplements. Green Cures management believes that the aging US population, together with an increase in consumer health concerns, signals continuing growth and opportunity in this market.
Health and Wellness:
Research also shows that the Health and Wellness industry in the United States generates over $153 Billion a year, which accounts for approximately one quarter of global health and wellness sales. The health and wellness market has continued growing at a rate of about 5% annually, and management believes that much of this continued growth can be attributed to the American consumers' interest on promoting healthy lifestyles and total body wellness.
Functional Beverage:
According to market data and industry research, the functional beverage industry in the United States is worth an estimated $8.6 Billion dollars, which represents a growth of approximately 300% since 2004. This industry is one of the fastest growing subsectors of the functional food industry, with an annual growth rate of almost 20%. According to statistical analysis conducted by industry leaders, the functional beverage industry is growing at a much faster rate than the general food or beverage market in the US.
Hemp:
According to estimates published by the Hemp Industry Association, in the year 2013, American retailers sold approximately $581 million of products containing hemp seeds and hemp fiber. Due to the similarity in leaf shape, hemp is frequently confused with marijuana. Although both plants are from the species cannabis, hemp contains virtually no THC (delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol), the active ingredient in marijuana. In the United States and many countries around the world, the consumption and use of Hemp is legal. Products like Hemp Fiber, Hemp Protein, and Hemp Oils are used every day by the general public. As a food or supplement, Hemp is rich in protein, omega fatty acids and high in fiber.
Management of Green Cures announced that Green Cures is exploring additional opportunities to expand its services and operations within the hemp and cannabis industry, particularly, in the field of agriculture. "Currently, in the United States, the demand for high quality raw material throughout the hemp industry and cannabis medicinal field outstrips the supply; therefore, we are exploring the possibility of being able to supply raw materials for our current and upcoming products, domestically and internationally," said Green Cures CEO Robert Calkin. At the present time, Green Cures plans to form its first subsidiary company, which will operate in the field of agriculture, as permitted by law. Furthermore, Green Cures is reviewing and has been in negotiations with several highly qualified individuals in the fields of horticulture and microbiology, with a view to their potentially joining the new subsidiary in the near future.
