Cannabis Growing Market in Canada

Cannabis Growing Market in Canada

Canadian demand for cannabis growing supplies – i.e., consumables and equipment used to grow hemp and marijuana – is forecast to rise 12% per year to US$1.8 billion in 2023. Nationwide legalization of adult-use (i.e., nonmedical, recreational) marijuana – combined with expanding hemp output due to rising consumer interest in CBD-infused products – will drive sales, as newly licensed businesses invest in the consumables and equipment needed to produce quality, regulation-compliant cannabis.
