Legal Marijuana Industry Overview
The global legal marijuana market size was valued at USD 16.7 billion in 2022 and is expected to expand at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 25.4% from 2023 to 2030. The growing demand for legal marijuana has been a primary factor in the growth of the market. Recently, a large number of countries have legalized the use of medical marijuana for treating various ailments. A number of studies carried out show that medical marijuana and its derivatives can be used to treat symptoms of various diseases, for e.g., it has been successfully used to treat patients with chronic pain, chemotherapy-induced nausea, Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, and other neurological diseases. The FDA and other such associations have now started accepting the marijuana derivatives for the prescription of diseases in which it has proven to be useful. This is another factor for the quick turnaround of its legal status in a lot of countries. North America (the U.S. and Canada) has gone a step further and has sanctioned the use of recreational marijuana as well and more than two-thirds of the U.S. states have legalized marijuana.
The pandemic severely affected the logistics network for cannabis and its derivatives and due to the ongoing restrictions, the government authorized dispensaries are also facing shortages owing to disruption in the supply chain network. Import and export of nearly all commodities essential or not have been affected as well. However, with the governments endorsing legalization, the demand has risen and is likely to be high in the next few years. Patients are opting for marijuana derivatives instead of the prescription medicines previously being used.
