Cannabis Market Projections
The cannabis industry has flourished the past several years, and it shows no signs of slowing.
The cannabis plant, also known as marijuana, is known for both its psychoactive and medical benefits. For example, the greatest amount of evidence for the therapeutic effects of cannabis relates to its ability to reduce chronic pain, nausea and vomiting due to chemotherapy, and spasticity from MS.
Despite the fact that it’s still illegal under the U.S. federal law to use and possess it, there are over 34 states that allow publicly available cannabis programs.
While people may think that the entire cannabis industry is centered on recreational/medical use of the plant, the market can be divided into a variety of sectors:
It is also important to recognize how the cannabis market has both direct and indirect influence on other industries. A good example is the rising popularity of hemp in a variety of applications.
Hemp is now quite popular in everything from dietary supplements to biofuels and papers. Another major market that is directly impacted by the cannabis market is, you may have guessed it, CBD. Produced from marijuana, CBD is primarily used to treat a variety of medical conditions and has seen major growth since the majority of states legalized cannabis.
The reason that these three (among other) markets are so impacted by each other is because all sectors in the cannabis market are interconnected in a positive way. Despite the challenge of inconsistent legalization and regulations from different agencies, the cannabis industry as a whole is expected to grow exponentially over the next five years, from $25.6 billion in 2019 to $77.6 billion by 2024 at 24.8% annually. This growth will surely impact all related industries.
