TRIP's mission is to share calm in the everyday chaos by crafting authentically functional products that deliver calm, and look, taste and feel exceptional.
The CBD wellbeing market is reaching astounding heights at the moment, valued at around $13 billion and showing no signs of slowing down. Conservate estimates are forecasting it to be worth close to $25 billion by the end of the decade, while more optimistic expectations have that number at around $50 billion.
Two of the simplest ways of reaching consumers with CBD products are drinks and oils, and popular UK brand TRIP is covering both. Though only founded in 2019, TRIP has enjoyed a fast rise from hype-fuelled D2C-only company with a cult following, to now being stocked in major retailers like Sainsbury’s and Holland & Barrett.
Having secured a self-reported near 90% market share of the UK’s CBD space, the company recently closed a round of significant funding to drive its expansion into the US.
Interestingly, one of the key players in the funding round was former Depop CEO Maria Raga, who knows plenty about growing edgy brands into mainstream giants.
