Swiss CBD & cannabis market size
Retail revenue of the legal CBD market and segment shares (flowers, oil, vapes, hash) — CHF, yearly.
Key facts
- CBD market 2026: ≈ CHF 320 M
- Annual growth: +8–12%
- Specialised shops: ≈ 250
Key takeaways
- The legal CBD retail market grew from CHF 210 M (2021) to about CHF 320 M (2026) — 8–12% per year on average.
- Flowers dominate with a 54% revenue share, ahead of oil (25%), vapes (12%) and hash/extracts (9%).
- Vapes are the fastest-growing segment (CHF 18 M → 38 M, +111% since 2021); hash is the flattest.
Interpretation
The Swiss CBD market has matured: double-digit growth is over and the sector is consolidating around some 250 specialised outlets. The revenue mix reveals that maturity — as long as more than half the money sits in flowers, this is a substitution market for THC cannabis rather than a pure wellness market. Fast vape growth reflects younger, convenience-driven buyers, while flat hash revenue shows extraction quality remains a Swiss bottleneck.
Limitations
- There is no official CBD revenue statistic; values are extrapolated.
- Cross-border direct-to-consumer online sales are not captured.
- Segment shares are based on assortment surveys, not point-of-sale data.
