Global Legal Cannabis Market to Grow at a CAGR of 23% in the Forecast Period, Aided by the Growing Demand for Cannabinoid-Infused Food Products

Consumer demand for cannabis with consistent dosing and lab-tested chemicals is expanding at a fast pace as a result of the penetration of numerous start-ups. Innovative and premium packaging offered by several brands is propelling the appeal for cannabis-based products among millennial and gen-Z consumers, invigorating the market growth. The increasing legalisation of cannabis in countries like the United States, Spain, and Canada is fuelling the industry's growth. For instance, recreational cannabis became legal in New York in April 2021, boosting the industry growth significantly. The growing popularity of cannabis-infused foods is driving up the demand for cannabinoids, which is driving up demand for industrial hemp. Additionally, as people are becoming more aware of the health advantages of cannabinoids, the demand for cannabinoid-infused food products rises, augmenting the market growth. The rise of the cannabis market is aided by the creation of novel cannabis-based goods. The growing usage of cannabis for medical purposes is boosting the market growth. Due to the use of cutting-edge technology, such as artificial intelligence (AI) and big data in various treatments, the trend is projected to accelerate in the future years. This could lead to the personalisation of medical cannabis, allowing for the development of particular cancer and palliative care medications, which is expected to drive the industry's growth. The rising geriatric population need treatment for chronic diseases. With its rich medical properties and the increasing patient population, the governments of many countries are either decriminalising or approving its usage.

In the cannabis market, companies are very active and continuously acquire shares and develop new products to attract more consumers to their products. For instance, in November 2020, Canopy Growth Corporation (TSX: WEED) (NYSE: CGC), world-leading diversified cannabis, hemp, and cannabis device company, announced the launch of Quatreau, a new line of premium CBD-infused beverages. The naturally flavoured sparkling waters are Canopy Growth's first CBD-infused drinks, with both CBD-only and "balanced" (CBD + THC) offerings available in Canada.
