On the morning of March 3rd, Eastern Time, two employees from the Washington News Center of 2FIRSTS interviewed Caesar, their marketing manager, at the APE exhibition. Caesar stated that the CBD market in the United States is expected to reach $20.4 billion by 2023.


During an interview with 2FIRSTS, Caesar revealed that APE has noticed a significant increase in sales of CBD products at recent exhibitions. He noted that compared to the tobacco industry and other related industries, the growth in CBD sales is much more substantial. It is projected that the CBD market in the United States will reach $20.4 billion by the year 2023, as stated by Caesar.


Caesar stated that the use of CBD is becoming increasingly widespread. Currently, many companies have started to incorporate CBD in food and drink products, such as butter, oil, or other grains.


Caesar announced that their next exhibition will be held in Medellin, South America. Over 90% of the exhibition spaces have already been sold. The exhibition in Dallas, USA, sold out 70% of its spaces within five months after the show.


Furthermore, Caesar told 2FIRSTS that APE was formerly known as the USA CBD Expo, but due to the growth of e-cigarettes, the USA CBD Expo had to add e-cigarette categories, thus evolving into the Alternative Products Expo.

South Korean Court Strikes Down Health Levy on Vape Nicotine Liquids, Citing Disproportionate Penalties
A Seoul court has annulled South Korea’s health-levy assessments imposed on multiple importers of nicotine liquids used for vaping. While the court agreed the nicotine could be treated as “tobacco” because it was found to be leaf-derived, it ruled the levy—stacked with other taxes and calculated on a blunt, volume-only basis—was so severe it effectively deprived businesses of the ability to operate, breaching constitutional proportionality and equality standards.
