North America is the leading cannabis market. The regional market is being aided by the legalisation drives for the drug for both, medical and recreational purposes. Almost 1.9 million people in North America were legally using the substance in 2017 to manage and relieve conditions like polymorphic seizures and chronic pain. With over 60% of the population in the region residing in areas with legalised medical cannabis, the industry is expected to witness a healthy growth in the forecast period. In 2018, the total cannabis sales in the US was estimated to be around USD 7.6 billion. As of January 2020, 33 states in the US along with Washington, DC had legalised marijuana use for medical purposes, which will aid the industry growth in the coming years. In Canada, the overall industry, including medical and legal along with illegal products, is expected to generate a sales revenue of nearly USD 1.7 billion in 2020 and the contribution of medical sales is anticipated to account for about one-fourth of the total industry sales in Canada. The industry is being driven by increased legalisation and the willingness of consumers to spend more on legal products.

In 2018, medical cannabis retail sales reached around USD 3.7 billion in the US. Europe is another leading market which is expected to grow annually by € 35.7 billion. With people spending nearly € 1.49 trillion on healthcare in 2017 on the continent, the industry has a high potential for growth in the region. The medical marijuana industry is a key expansion sector for pharmaceutical companies in Europe. Germany represents the leading market for medical cannabis in the region and was worth USD 11.9 billion in 2017. The Western European country imports most of its supply from Canada and is looking to expand its domestic supply to meet the rising local demand.

Market Analysis

The global medical cannabis market is being aided by the rising legalisation of marijuana for medical usage as well as a growing acceptance of the substance by the potential consumers. The rising number of R & D undertakings, clinical trials, and increased commercialisation of the product will also drive the industry growth. Israel is a significant market in terms of the research and development investments into medical marijuana. The country has led multiple pioneering studies in the field including the effect of medicinal cannabis on autistic people. With regulatory authorities in the US like the National Institute on Drug Abuse and the Drug Enforcement Agency hindering the expansion of research on the subject, several US companies are conducting research in Israel and investing in the Israeli cannabis industry. In Canada, the industry for medicinal marijuana is being driven by the willingness of Canadian insurance companies to reimburse the utilisation of cannabis to treat conditions like cancer-related pain and nausea, spasticity caused by multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis pain, HIV/AIDS, and other palliative care.

Globally, the industry is also finding impetus for its growth in the rising population of geriatrics who are more vulnerable to chronic illnesses and are likely to suffer from pain related to conditions like rheumatoid arthritis. The increasing disposable income is also likely to drive the industry. The growing consumer awareness about the product is also proving to be a catalyst for the market. The industry is further aided by consumer satisfaction with cancer patients who have used medicinal cannabis testifying to the product’s contribution to the improvement of their quality of life by relieving pain and the side-effects of chemotherapy like nausea. Medical cannabis is also viewed as a safer option over opioid-based prescription medications.
