Global Medical Cannabis Market is valued approximately USD 8432.25 million in 2021 and is anticipated to grow with a healthy growth rate of more than 23.60% over the forecast period 2022-2029. Medical cannabis refers to the use of cannabis or cannabinoids to treat medical conditions or alleviate symptoms. These products may include dried cannabis flower, cannabis oil, capsules, and tinctures, among others. The global medical cannabis market is growing rapidly due to increasing awareness of the potential health benefits of cannabis-based products, the legalization of medical cannabis in several countries, and the growing acceptance of cannabis for medical use. Moreover, increasing demand for natural and alternative therapies and growing investment and research is creating lucrative growth opportunity for the market over the forecast period 2022-2029.
In December 2020, the United Nations Commission on Narcotic Drugs voted to remove cannabis from Schedule IV of the 1961 Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs, recognizing its potential medical benefits and paving the way for more countries to legalize medical cannabis. In 2020, the European Union (EU) amended its regulations to allow for the use of cannabis-based medicines for the treatment of chronic pain, spasticity, and nausea associated with chemotherapy. In February 2021, the government of United Kingdom announced that it would allow medical cannabis to be prescribed by specialist doctors for patients with chronic pain, epilepsy, and other conditions. However, the high cost of Medical Cannabis stifles market growth throughout the forecast period of 2022-2029.
