VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / July 9, 2024 / Xebra Brands Ltd. ("Xebra" or the "Company") (CSE:XBRA)(OTCQB:XBRAF)(FSE:9YC0), a pioneer in the Mexican cannabis sector and the only company legally permitted to cultivate, manufacture, operate, and sell cannabis (-1% THC) in Mexico, announces the successful completion of its first manufacturing run of its highly anticipated Elements line. This milestone represents a significant next step forward in Xebra Brands' commercialization efforts as the company prepares for initial distribution efforts in Mexico.

The authorization for the importation, launch, and sale of the Elements Full Spectrum CBD Tinctures were granted to Elements Bioscience SAPI de C.V, a fully owned subsidiary of Xebra Brands Ltd, by Mexican regulatory authorities (COFEPRIS), and are expected to be sold in wellness and supplement stores, pharmacies and other retail channels which have accelerated their demand for new products.

As consumers in Mexico become more educated about cannabis and hemp products, the industry is projected to continue expanding rapidly. The growing awareness about the potential health benefits of Cannabis has led to a surge in demand for CBD-based products. Additionally, there is a rising interest in alternative forms of consumption such as edibles and concentrates, reflecting a diversification in consumer preferences. By 2026 the overall Cannabis market (which includes CBD sales, Medical cannabis sales, Pharmaceutical cannabis sales and Recreational cannabis sales) is expected to reach $3.2B Usd. CBD sales are expected to reach $210M while the bulk of sales ($2.7B) is made up from Recreational cannabis sales, which are still illegal nationwide.

Trends in the market: One of the prominent trends in the Mexican Cannabis market is the gradual legalization and regulation of Cannabis for recreational use. This shift has opened up huge opportunities for businesses to enter the market and cater to a broader customer base. Furthermore, the emergence of online platforms for Cannabis sales is reshaping the retail landscape, providing convenience and accessibility to consumers.

Customer preferences: Customers in Mexico are increasingly gravitating towards Cannabis products for both medicinal and recreational purposes. The growing awareness about the potential health benefits of Cannabis has led to a surge in demand for CBD-based products. Additionally, there is a rising interest in alternative forms of consumption such as edibles and concentrates, reflecting a diversification in consumer preferences.

Underlying macroeconomic factors: Economic factors such as job creation and tax revenue generation are driving the push towards Cannabis legalization in Mexico. The potential for a new revenue stream through Cannabis sales presents an attractive opportunity for the government to boost economic growth and address budgetary concerns. Additionally, the shift towards Cannabis legalization aligns with global trends, as more countries recognize the economic potential of the industry.

Xebra Brands is poised to capitalise on this growing demand with the launch of Elements, as the only legal company that has been granted authorizations to domestically produce and sell CBD and cannabis products (under 1% THC), Elements stands out not only as the pioneer brand in the Mexican market but also for its commitment to quality, safety, and efficacy.

About Xebra Brands:

Xebra Brands is a leading cannabis company dedicated to providing high-quality, innovative products to consumers worldwide. Xebra is an absolute first mover in the Mexican cannabis sector and the only company legally allowed to cultivate, manufacture, operate, and sell cannabis (-1% THC) in Mexico.
