CBD Market Regional Analysis
The Americas dominate the global CBD market, owing to the increasing consumption of cannabis-based products. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), the consumption of marijuana has an annual prevalence rate of nearly 2.5% of the global population, i.e., approximately 147 million individuals. It is also reported that approximately 22.2 million Americans of 12 years of age and older use cannabis and related products for various reasons.
Europe holds the second largest market share due to the rising awareness about clinical applications of cannabis. CBD is legal and can be openly marketed in certain European countries, for instance, the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Forestry, and the Bulgarian Food Safety Agency issued the ‘free certificate of sale’ for the CBD products. Thus, such approvals and consideration by the regulatory agencies in Europe are driving the CBD market growth in the region. In spite of the approvals and considerations, there are positive restrictions associated with the use of the products. For instance, in 2013, medical cannabis was legalized in the Czech Republic, but it was limited to 180 grams of dry matter per month. In Europe, marijuana and cannabis laws differ from country to country. Previously, Germany was importing medical cannabis from other countries, but in 2017, Germany passed a law to expand access to medical cannabis and to allow domestic production. Increasing participation of various companies such as Medical Marijuana Inc., as a scope of development, announced the formation of Canipa Holdings in Romania, European Union. The effect of such initiatives by the companies is facilitating the growth of the CBD market in the European region.
The Asia-Pacific region is classified into CBD Market China, CBD Market India, CBD Market Japan, and Rest of Asia-Pacific. It holds the third largest position in the CBD market. Recently, China has legalized the cultivation of CBD (Hemp) and extraction for the derived product. The products are exported and not sold in China. Yunnan provincial government and Public Security Bureau approved the first industrial hemp plant extraction factory in China. It is the largest country in terms of area, population, businesses, and others. The entry of Chinese companies in the CBD market has created a great potential for expansion and growth. In Asia-Pacific, cannabis-based products are completely unacceptable. But due to the increasing cases of epilepsy, cannabis-based products are prescribed by some physicians. For instance, a recent Australian nationwide survey of 976 people with epilepsy indicated that 13% of the parents were using illicit cannabis extracts to manage their child’s seizures. Australia mainly focuses on the medical use of cannabis products. Australian regulatory agencies are operating on providing a guideline for the use of the CBD products. This is expected to help in the growth of the CBD market in Australia.
The Middle East and Africa is expected to witness a restricted growth due to stringent government policies, adverse effects associated with cannabis, and the illegal use of marijuana. In the Middle East, few of the Arab countries are imposing trick laws over the use and handling of cannabis-related products. Thus, the CBD market in these regions has limited scope for growth during the forecast period.
