Market Analysis

Cannabis Market Overview:

The market for cannabis is mainly driven by its ongoing legalization for recreational and medicinal uses across various countries and regions. Additionally, the changing attitudes towards cannabis, fueled by shifting cultural perceptions and scientific research, are facilitating increased acceptance and destigmatization, which is further stimulating the market growth. Besides this, patients seeking alternatives to traditional pharmaceuticals are turning to cannabis for pain management, symptom relief, and treatment of chronic illnesses, positively influencing the demand for medical cannabis derivatives. For instance, the National Cannabis Industry Association (NCIA) is promoting the expansion of the legal cannabis industry and providing it with favorable social, economic, and legal conditions in the United States. Similarly, many countries, such as Australia, Canada, Chile, Colombia, Germany, Greece, Israel, Italy, the Netherlands, Peru, Poland, Portugal, Thailand, the United Kingdom, and Uruguay, have legalized the usage of cannabis for medicinal purposes.

Cannabis Market Trends:

Product Variety and Innovation

Continuous product innovation in the cannabis business is driving the market's growth. Companies are creating a wide range of cannabis-infused products, such as beverages, edibles, topicals, concentrates, and vape cartridges. Furthermore, cannabis quality, potency, and consistency are improving due to technical developments in product formulation, extraction, and growing. Innovations, such as automated cultivation systems, advanced extraction techniques, and nanotechnology-enabled delivery systems are enhancing product efficacy and bolstering market expansion. For example, Mile High Labs and Royal DSM entered into a strategic partnership to develop and commercialize the next generation of science-backed cannabinoid consumer products. Moreover, according to the Gallup Survey, approximately 64% of the U.S. adults were familiar with CBD and CBD products and as per the SingleCare Survey, around one-third of Americans used CBD.

Legalization of Cannabis

Globally, the trend of legalizing cannabis for medical as well as recreational purposes, continues to rise. New markets are created as more states and countries legalize cannabis, spurring business expansion and significant investment potential. Accordingly, Cannabidiol (CBD) has emerged as a popular cannabinoid, known for its potential therapeutic benefits without the psychoactive effects of THC. The CBD market is rapidly growing, with several CBD-infused products available, including oils, tinctures, capsules, skincare items, and pet supplements. For example, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved the use of cannabis-derived drugs, such as Epidiolex, Cesamet, etc., for treating seizures, and chemotherapy-induced side effects respectively. Moreover, the U.S. House of Representatives passed the legislation to remove cannabis from “The controlled Substance Act of 1970”. Furthermore, according to the US Government Accountability Office (under State Medical Marijuana Laws), symptoms and conditions that can be treated by cannabis include Alzheimer’s disease, anorexia, HIV/AIDS, glaucoma, cancer, arthritis, epilepsy, nausea, pain, cachexia, Crohn's disease, migraines, multiple sclerosis, spasticity, and wasting syndrome.
