2022 saw several standout industries. With the global cannabidiol market expected to finish as a $6.36 billion USD industry in 2022, wellness has shifted fundamentally to modern solutions.
Since its inception in 2019, Vantage has seen undeniable success in the hemp and CBD space which has led to opportunities outside of the industry in 2022. With a new, diverse customer base and multiple agreements in international markets, the company is ready to tackle 2023 as a plant-based wellness company.
Industry Partners & International Markets
In January 2022, Psyched Wellness, a Canadian brand looking to lead the emerging functional food category with functional mushrooms, announced its partnership with Vantage. With an agreement that included extraction, commercial production, and bottling, Vantage worked to bring Psyched Wellness’ AME-1-derived products to market.
A Vantage partner since early 2021, Medcan Australia was founded with the vision to provide Australian patients with a high-quality, fairly priced product. This year, Vantage and Medcan signed a multi-million dollar deal with an exclusive agreement that will export Vantage’s pharmaceutical-grade CBD and finished tincture to local pharmaceutical and biotech companies.
Read about the vital deal that will grow the Australian CBD industry.
Focusing on what businesses want and value has allowed 2022 to be a breakout year for Vantage in international markets, establishing partnerships in Argentina, Brazil, Chile, the United Kingdom, and Switzerland, with a soon-to-be-finalized agreement in Japan.
A Promise of Support to Clients
Market success does not come without a dedication to increasing product and service offerings. Accompanied by high-quality processes, global standards adherence, and world-class facilities, Vantage announced softgel capabilities in response to meeting client and consumer demands.

In April 2022, Vantage further solidified its position as a transparent, reliable, and compliant partner to pharmaceutical companies with the announcement of a Drug Master File (DMF) submission for its hemp-derived CBD distillate to the US Food & Drug Administration.
Vantage’s current and forthcoming DMF submissions are a clear promise of support to clients formulating with its CBD active pharmaceutical ingredient (API).
Learn how Vantage’s DMF submission makes it a transparent partner to clients and regulatory bodies.
