Global cannabis cultivation market was worth USD 123.9 billion in 2019. It is projected to grow at a compound annual rate (CAGR of 14.3%) between 2020 and 2027. The market's growth is driven by growing legalization and increased use of cannabis to treat chronic diseases. The market is also growing because of the liberalization in laws governing cannabis cultivation, particularly hemp cultivation by different countries, which has a low THC content. The market for cannabis cultivation is also being driven by the legalization and increasing acceptance of cannabis for medical purposes in different regions. The number of patients has increased significantly in Germany after legalizing marijuana for medical use in 2017. Bank of Montreal's 2019 report shows that the number of patients in Germany after legalization of medical marijuana has increased from around 1,000 to 30,000 to 50,000.
The demand for hemp extracts is also growing rapidly as more developed countries legalize the cultivation and processing after realizing the high levels of CBD in hemp. This is leading to a greater demand in many sectors including pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals and food & beverages. Hemp can be considered an agricultural commodity that is grown in more than 40 countries. It is a strain called cannabis Sativa. It is part of the genus Cannabis. The THC content can be as low as 0.3%. Some of the largest producers of hemp worldwide include Russia, China, Canada and France.
While medical marijuana has been legalized in many countries, some countries have limited legalization. Patients with multiple sclerosis, AIDS and epilepsy, for example, can use marijuana in Croatia. In Queensland, Australia, medicinal marijuana cannot be used for severe muscle spasms or chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting. This restriction on application in many countries will likely limit market growth and reduce the cultivation.
Pandemic Impact |
Outlook after COVID |
From 2019 to 2020, there is an incremental opportunity of USD 11.3 billion. According to earlier projections, the market would grow at 13.6% between 2019 and 2020. |
Market growth is expected to be between 17% and 19% over the next five years. |
Although the impact of COVID-19 wasn't as dramatic as a decline in growth to negative, it was evident. |
Increased machinery and equipment capacity will help reduce disruptions which in turn will fuel growth after a pandemic. |
The cannabis market has been hindered by disruptions in its supply chain, impulsive purchasing behavior that causes shortages and a sudden shift in the working pattern of the cannabis industry. |
The recession has not had a significant impact on cannabis-related businesses. Therefore, the demand for cannabis consumer goods is expected to remain steady over the next few years. This will help fuel the growth of cannabis cultivation. |
The high demand for medical marijuana has also led to a shortage in supply chains across different countries. This is due to both a large increase in demand and restrictions on cultivation in different countries. Germany, for example, is a lucrative market that has a limited supply of medicinal cannabis. This forces patients to pay high prices. According to the Bank of Montreal in 2019, German patients are spending more than Canadian patients on average in 2019. This has further restricted the market's growth in cannabis cultivation.
Based on biomass, the market for cannabis cultivation was dominated by the hemp segment and accounted to 94.5% of the revenue share in 2019. This is due to increasing acceptance of hemp and derived products, as well as its low THC content. The fastest-growing segment is likely to be marijuana, which will grow at a substantial rate during the forecast period. This is due to marijuana legalization in many countries, both for adult and medical use.
The promise of government reforms in hemp utilization is encouraging hemp and hemp-derived products to be more widely adopted. Japan, for example, has not yet legalized marijuana products. However, hemp CBD oil, which has a low THC content has been legalized. Positive government initiatives and growing awareness are expected to help drive the overall growth.
Based on cannabis cultivation, the highest revenue share was 93.8% for industrial consumption in 2019. This is due to the increasing use of cannabis and hemp in many industries, including pharmaceuticals, personal care, cosmetics, nutraceuticals and food and drinks. The market for cannabis cultivation will grow due to factors like the increasing use of cannabis and its derivatives by companies to create innovative cannabis-infused products.
Due to an increase in marijuana use for medical purposes, and the treatment of various health conditions like chronic pain, mental disorders, and cancer, medical cannabis consumption is expected to rise at the highest rate of change (CAGR). The number of scientific studies that support cannabis' benefits for various diseases has increased, resulting in a tremendous increase in medical marijuana applications. Israel, for example, is doing extensive research into the medical benefits associated with cannabis. As more countries legalize medical marijuana, the market for cannabis cultivation will experience lucrative growth.
Asia Pacific was the dominant market for cannabis cultivation based on geography with a 41.2% revenue share in 2019. The key factors driving market growth are increasing awareness about cannabis and its medical benefits as well as a growing patient pool that is eligible for medical marijuana treatments.
Due to the rapid improvement in laws governing cannabis cultivation, use and economic development, Africa and the Middle East are expected to experience lucrative growth during the forecast period. The growth is expected to be driven by the rising popularity of government reforms that support hemp and marijuana cultivation in this region.
Due to the rising demand for cannabis and other derived products, as well as technological advances, there is a lot of competition among existing players. The growing demand for cannabis cultivation will likely encourage the establishment of new companies. This is due to increasing awareness and acceptance about cannabis.
Strategic expansions of companies through mergers and acquisitions will boost competition and drive growth in the cannabis cultivation market. Tilray, for example, completed the December 2019 acquisition of Privateer Holdings, an equity firm that invests solely in legal cannabis industry.
