Medical Cannabis Industry Market Report 2019: Market Share, Size, Growth, Trends, Forecast and Analysis of Key players 2024
Global Medical Cannabis Market to Reach US$ 44.4 Billion by 2024, Fostered by Investments in Clinical Trials and R&D - IMARCGroup
Recent and upcoming legalization of cannabis for medical purposes, due to its anti-spasmodic and anti-proliferative properties, has led to the growth of the industry globally. Increasing investment in R&D and clinical trials in the coming years will further lead to robust growth in the global medical cannabis market.

Medical cannabis is obtained from the Cannabis Sativa and Cannabis Indica plants. It contains three major active compounds namely, Cannabidiol (CBD), Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and Cannabinol (CBN). As compared to recreational cannabis, medical cannabis has a lower amount of THC and a higher count of CBD which provides therapeutic advantages to patients and aids in retaining anti-psychotic effects. This plant-based drug is gradually gaining acceptance in the pharmaceutical industry as it helps in improving the mood, immune function and vascular health. It is now used for curing anxiety, nausea, depression, chronic pain and side effects of multiple sclerosis, epilepsy, PTSD and Parkinson’s disease. It is prescribed in different forms like vapor, oral capsules, topical solutions, creams and balms. As per the global medical cannabis market report by IMARC Group, the market reached a value of US$ 13.4 Billion in 2018.

Market Drivers:

In comparison with other treatment alternatives, cannabis is safer and has less severe side effects. Owing to this, it is utilized in combination with other treatments to either combat side effects or to increase their effectiveness. For instance, it is used along with traditional opioid painkillers which enable patients to reduce the frequency and dosage of opioids gradually.

Additionally, a steadily aging population is playing a vital role in spurring the demand for medical cannabis as geriatric patients are more likely to develop chronic diseases and require frequent physician visits. Apart from this, manufacturers are investing in R&D activities and clinical trials to develop safer forms of cannabis. Further legalization of medical marijuana is anticipated to drive the market growth globally. As a result of these factors, the market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 22.9% during 2019-2024, reaching a value of US$ 44.4 Billion by 2024.
