Market Definition

Global medical marijuana market is estimated to reach $14.3 billion in 2019 with a CAGR of 19.2% from 2019 to 2026. Medical marijuana is derived from the Cannabis indica and Cannabis sativa species and includes three active components namely Cannabidiol (CBD), Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), and cannabinol (CBN). In recent years, the progress of medical marijuana/cannabis from an illegal drug to a legalized drug in certain parts of the world is driving the market growth.

Industry Dynamics

The market is overseeing significant growth owing to the rising awareness among people about the medical application of marijuana such as chronic pain management, mental disorders, among others.  According to the data published in the Harvard Health Publishing in January 2018, nearly 85% of the Americans supported the legalization of medical marijuana. Further, the growing need for effective pain management due to the increasing disease burden of pain is anticipated to surge the demand for medical cannabis in western countries. According to the data published by, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), in the U.S., nearly 20.4% of adults suffered from chronic pain and about 80% of the U.S. adults suffered from high-impact chronic pain in 2016. Moreover, the legalization of medical marijuana in some nations has decreased the activity of the black market, as people are willing to purchase medical cannabis legally. Despite the drivers, factors such as the rigorous approval process and stringent government policies may hamper the market growth during the assessment period.
