Legal Marijuana Market Size Worth $102.2 Billion By 2030

The global legal marijuana market size is projected to reach USD 102.2 billion by 2030, progressing at a substantial compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 25.5% during the forecast period. The primary factor driving the industry growth is the rapid rate of government legalization of marijuana across the globe, in both medical and recreational terms. This has paved the way for a number of start-ups to launch innovative marijuana-based products for consumers, particularly for the Millennials and Gen Xers. Furthermore, marijuana has been proven to be very effective in treating chronic conditions, which has driven the product demand from the medical and healthcare sector.

Marijuana has been notable for addressing various health issues, including chemotherapy-induced nausea, chronic pain, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, AIDS, migraine, multiple sclerosis, epilepsy, glaucoma, diabetes, and mental health conditions such as PTSD anxiety, and depression. With a significant chunk of the global population suffering from one or more of these disorders, it is expected that alternative forms of medication such as medical marijuana will become more popular and widely available in the coming years, especially as various public and private organizations are focusing on changing government perception with regards to marijuana. For instance, the US FDA has begun accepting marijuana derivatives in prescribing for diseases where it has been found to be useful.

The market has been segmented on the basis of the type of legal marijuana, the application areas, and the region. The product is available in flower form, as well as oil and tinctures, with the latter being the more significant contributor to the industry revenue. This is because, in recent years, a significant proportion of patients are preferring the oil form as compared to flowers. Additionally, oil and tinctures are considered to be the sole form of administration to children, as they cannot be suggested to utilize flowers for smoking. The adult use of marijuana is expected to be boosted by the changing consumer perception towards the recreational use of the product, with countries such as the US and Canada having legalized this use in varying degrees.
