HYDERABAD, India, Dec. 24, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- According to a market research report by Mordor Intelligence, the Global Cannabis Market is anticipated to register a CAGR of 14.1% during the forecast period studied. Some of the major factors driving the growth of this market are the medicinal properties of cannabis, and increasing advances in genetic development and intellectual property of cannabis.

Key Market Trends:
