Rise In Demand For Cannabis Is Expected To Continue Through 2027 Driving the Cultivation Industry

Palm Beach, Fl., Oct. 27, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- FinancialNewsMedia.com News Commentary - Recreational marijuana, medical marijuana and hemp cultivation has been steadily growing the last few years and is expected to continue for several years to come.  The global cannabis cultivation market size is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 14.3% from 2020 to 2027. Growing legalization and the adoption of cannabis for the treatment of chronic diseases are the key factors driving the growth of the market. In addition, the liberalization of laws related to cannabis cultivation, especially for hemp cultivation by various countries due to low THC content is further increasing its adoption. Furthermore, the legalization of marijuana in various geographies and its increasing adoption for medical purposes are factors driving the market for cannabis cultivation.  In addition, according to a report from Grand View Research, the demand for hemp is rapidly growing, as many developed countries have legalized the cultivation and processing of hemp after recognizing the levels of CBD present in it, which is leading to an increased demand for hemp extracts for various application in several sectors, including pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, nutraceuticals, and food & beverage. Hemp is regarded as an agricultural commodity produced in over 40 countries. It is a strain of cannabis Sativa, part of the genus cannabis, with THC content as low as 0.3%. Countries such as China, Canada, France, Chile, South Korea, Ecuador, Croatia, Czech Republic, Mongolia, Romania, and Russia are some of the major producers of hemp across the world.  Active companies in the Cannabis market this week include Cannabis Strategic Ventures, Inc. (OTCPK: NUGS), Sundial Growers Inc. (NASDAQ: SNDL), Canopy Growth Corporation (NASDAQ: CGC) (TSX: WEED), Cronos Group Inc. (NASDAQ: CRON) (TSX: CRON), Tilray, Inc. (NASDAQ: TLRY) (TSX: TLRY).

The Grand View Research report said that, based on biomass, the hemp segment dominated the market for cannabis cultivation... and this high share is attributable to the increasing adoption of hemp and derived products and its growing acceptance among the users due to its low THC content. Furthermore, marijuana is expected to be the fastest-growing segment, growing at a significant growth rate over the forecast period. This growth can be attributed to the growing legalization of marijuana in various countries for medical and adult use.  In addition, promising government reforms regarding the utilization of hemp in many countries is increasing the adoption of hemp and hemp-derived products. For instance, Japan has not legalized marijuana products, however, due to the low THC content, hemp CBD oil has been legalized. Therefore, affirmative government initiatives and rising awareness is anticipated to contribute to the overall growth."
