Hemp was the largest segment with a revenue share of 77.01% in 2022. Horizon Databook has segmented the UK cannabis cultivation market based on hemp, marijuana covering the revenue growth of each sub-segment from 2018 to 2030.


According to the UN International Narcotics Control Board (INCB), the UK is the largest exporter and producer of medical marijuana (including cannabis products) in the world, owing to factors such as legalization of medical cannabis and favorable climatic conditions.

The country produced nearly 95 tons of medical marijuana and exported nearly 2.1 tons in 2016. In addition, in November 2018, the UK government changed the law on medicinal cannabis consumption and moved it from schedule 1 to schedule 2 drugs, which allowed doctors to prescribe it to patients suffering from certain medical conditions.

The country mostly uses cultivated cannabis for production of Sativex (a drug used in the treatment of multiple sclerosis) and EPIDIOLEX (a drug used to treat conditions such as epilepsy); thus, a small portion is available for patients, which makes the available medical cannabis expensive. In addition, the illicit trading also hampers the cannabis cultivation market of the country.
