The global legal marijuana market size was valued at USD 21.0 billion in 2023 and is projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 25.7% from 2024 to 2030. Increasing demand for legal marijuana is a major factor in growth of the market. Recently, many countries have legalized the use of medical marijuana for treating various conditions. For instance, in June 2023, Luxembourg legalized possession and cultivation of cannabis for recreational use and became second European Union member country to legalize it. In addition, North America (the U.S. and Canada) has gone a step further and has sanctioned the use of recreational marijuana as well. More than two-thirds of the U.S. states have legalized marijuana. The industry is experiencing growth owing to growing awareness regarding various therapeutic benefits of the product, such as reducing eye pressure, appetite enhancement, and pain management.
Several studies have shown that medical marijuana and its derivatives can be used to treat symptoms of various diseases. For instance, according to articles published by the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI), cannabis has been successfully used to treat patients with chemotherapy-induced nausea, chronic pain, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, and other neurological diseases. Furthermore, the FDA and other such associations have now started accepting marijuana derivatives for the prescription of diseases, which has proven to be useful. For instance, the FDA has approved the cannabinoids cannabidiol (Epidiolex) for certain forms of severe epilepsy and dronabinol (Marinol, Syndros) for nausea and vomiting caused by cancer chemotherapy. This is another factor that drives the market growth.
With a changing government policy, the demand for medical marijuana is also increasing. A lot of countries that have legalized the use of medical marijuana are also paving the way for its cultivation to cut imports and earn revenue in the form of taxes. This, in turn, has generated industry jobs, and many more companies are dabbling in this industry. For instance, in the Netherlands, marijuana is a big business, and annually, the Dutch government earns 400 million euros (USD 437.96 million) in taxes from the nation's 730 marijuana-selling coffee shops .
Several startups in the U.S. and Europe are now focusing on alternate uses of cannabis other than recreational and medicinal. With so much happening in and around the cannabis industries, the countries are paving way for more liberal policies regarding its cultivation and usage in the medical field as well as industrial use. For instance, Sanity Group, a Berlin-based Startup founded in 2018, offers Vayamed and AVAAY Medical (medicinal cannabis) and Endosane Pharmaceuticals (finished cannabis pharmaceuticals).
A growing number of cultivators for cannabis, including marijuana, since this rakes in more revenues for the various governments. Since being legalized, its sales have increased exponentially, leading to diverse applications across various industries, from medical to industrial, which has generated new opportunities to increase revenues. For instance, the sales of medical and non-medical based cannabis in Canada is as follows,

With the FDA-level authorizations underway, the market for legal marijuana is only going to expand. A large number of clinical trials are anticipated to support marijuana derivatives for it to be legally prescribed for indications. For instance, in October 2023, Avextra Pharma GmbH announced the new double-blind Phase 2 clinical trial for the use of cannabis in the treatment of cancer patients in palliative care.
The market growth stage is high, and pace of the market growth is accelerating. The legal marijuana market is characterized by a moderate-to-high degree of growth owing to rising investment in R&D programs and increased demand for cannabis-containing vapes, pre-rolls, and gummies. For instance, the Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine (PCOM) conducts medical marijuana research to assess the impact of medical cannabis on behavior, quality of life, chronic pain, and more .
The market is characterized by a high degree of innovation owing to ongoing clinical trials on the use of cannabis and its medicinal properties, increasing product demand due to its health benefits, and growing preference for cannabis extracts such as oils and tinctures. For instance, in November 2023, a Tasmanian medicinal cannabis farm tripled its production as demand for cannabis-based products increased.
The market is also characterized by a medium level of merger and acquisition (M&A) activity by the leading players. Through M&A activity, these companies can expand their product portfolio, enter new territories, and strengthen their market position. For instance, in May 2022, Canopy Growth Corporation entered into definitive agreements to acquire Lemurian, Inc., a producer of high-quality cannabis extracts, to broaden Canopy Growth’s portfolio of premium brands with significant opportunities to scale across North America.
The global market for legal marijuana is flourishing owing to the increasing number of countries legalizing and providing a systematic regulatory framework for the cultivation and sale of cannabis. For instance, in Asia, in February 2021, Thailand became the first country to legalize the use and purchase of cannabis leaves. Later, in June 2022, the legalization was extended to the whole plant, following the 2019 allowance for medical purposes. Thus, increased legalization for cannabis boosts the market growth.
Many companies are adopting various strategies, which include collaboration, product expansion, and partnerships, to strengthen their market position. For instance, in October 2023, Cantourage Group SE, a producer and distributor of medical cannabis, launched a range of high-THC medicinal cannabis flowers in Switzerland in collaboration with Astrasana.
The popularity of cannabis-containing foods and the legalization of cannabis is rapidly rising due to the various health benefits associated with cannabis. Due to legalization, many market players are expanding their market presence in such areas. For instance, in October 2022, Canopy Growth Corporation, a Canadian-based cannabis company, sped up its entry into the U.S. cannabis market with a new holding company, i.e., Canopy USA. This move allowed Canopy Growth Corporation to complete its acquisition of California extracts maker Jetty, Colorado-based edibles specialist Wana Brands, and New York-based Acreage Holdings.
By application, market is segmented into medical and adult use. Medical segment led the market and accounted for 79.1% of the global revenue in 2023. Factors such as recent legalization and decriminalization of marijuana for medical use attributed to growth of this segment. Patients in these geographic regions have been seen preferring the medical use of marijuana due to the ease of availability and economical pricing. For instance, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures, as of April 2023, in the U.S., cannabis products were legalized in 38 states, three territories, and the District of Columbia for medical use.
Furthermore, cannabis derivatives have been extensively studied for their potency as an analgesic. It has shown far better results with fewer side effects than the regular medicines being prescribed till now. It has been proven to reduce arthritic pain significantly with negligible side effects. For instance, according to a study published in Jama Network Open in 2023, more than half of adults (948 out of 1661) used cannabis to manage their chronic pain. With an increase in awareness surrounding the use of medical cannabis and its derivatives, the market is expected to grow over the forecast period.
Adult-use segment is expected to witness fastest CAGR growth over the forecast period. In countries like the U.S. and Canada, where adult-use and medical-use cannabis have both been legalized, people are still preferring adult-use marijuana due to the lack of reimbursements available for medical marijuana. For instance, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures, as of November 2023, in the U.S., 24 states, two territories, and the District of Columbia have enacted guidelines to regulate cannabis for adult or recreational use. Moreover, changing consumer behavior toward recreational marijuana is another factor anticipated to boost the segment growth.
By product type, market is divided into oil & tinctures and flower. Oil and tinctures segment accounted for largest market revenue share in 2023. Marijuana oil and tinctures are being studied extensively for multiple indications in a lot of countries. Oils extracted from cannabis are utilized for the treatment of nausea and vomiting caused due to cancer. Furthermore, rising introduction of cannabis-based products for medical use drives the market growth. For instance, in May 2023, Stenocare received approval from the Federal Institute for Drugs and Medical Devices (BfArM) for its medical cannabis oil for prescription-based sales to German patients.
In addition, oil and tinctures are anticipated to register the fastest growth rate over the forecast period. Cannabinoids that are present in the oil help in improving sleep disorders and alleviate anxiety and stress. For instance, according to an article published in NCBI, preliminary research on insomnia and cannabis suggested that cannabidiol (CBD) may have therapeutic potential for the treatment of insomnia. The demand for oils and tinctures is anticipated to increase over the forecast period owing to a substantial increase in patients preferring oil compared to flowers. Moreover, children who need cannabis derivatives for their treatment cannot be suggested to use flowers to smoke and are instead being prescribed oils and tinctures due to the respiratory problems caused by smoking flowers.
North America dominated the market with a revenue share of 76.0% in 2023. The rapid increase in the rate at which the government is decriminalizing cannabis for both medical and adult use or recreational use of marijuana is a key factor driving the regional market. The presence of majority of market players in the cannabis market and structured regulatory framework further strengthens this position. For instance, in February 2023, the FDA issued guidance on cannabis and cannabis-derived compounds, specifically for the development of drugs for human use. With more than two-thirds of the U.S. falling under the legal territory for cannabis, the demand and supply both have increased, which is further boosting North America’s position as the forerunner.
Several countries are legalizing cannabis in the Asia Pacific region, and growing cannabis research programs boost the market growth. For instance, in July 2023, the 'Cannabis Research Project' at CSIR-IIIM Jammu was established in India through a Canadian company and government partnership. This project has the potential to benefit people by exploring the use of cannabis to treat conditions such as epilepsy, neuropathies, and cance. Due to clinical studies confirming its effectiveness as a pain reliever, countries with a significant elderly population are expected to accelerate the legalization process, which can spur the industry's growth in the region.
Some of the key players operating in the market include Canopy Growth Corporation, AURORA CANNABIS INC., Tilray Brands Inc. (Aphria, Inc.), and The Cronos Group.

Market Segmentation
In the recent times, the adoption of marijuana for medical purposes is gaining impetus across the world owing to recent legalizations in different countries. Medical marijuana is used for treating the patients suffering from chronic conditions including Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, cancer, arthritis, neurologic problems like anxiety, depression, epilepsy, and others. Thus, widespread applications of medical marijuana have augmented its adoption for treatment of multiple chronic conditions. The rising prevalence of cancer is projected to be one of the factors driving the medical marijuana market over the forecast period. For instance, according to the WHO, cancer is the leading cause of deaths in the world and was responsible for over 10 million deaths in 2020. Moreover, the growing disease burden of chronic pain and increasing requirement of pain management therapies across the world are likely to propel the demand for medical marijuana over the forecast period.
The marijuana industry is gaining momentum due to the increasing usage of marijuana for medical and adult use. Marijuana has only been legalized for medical use in specific countries and is likely to be legalized for adult use as well. With the legalization of marijuana, the adoption of marijuana is projected to further increase with surging medical and adult-use patients and consumers. Furthermore, a shift in patient preference for marijuana from medical to recreational purposes is anticipated owing to easy access and low cost of marijuana after legalization. However, even if the price of legal marijuana is lower than medical marijuana, taxes would be levied on marijuana products after its legalization. Therefore, cultivators are emphasizing on cultivating marijuana in areas that are exempt from taxes. For instance, in the New York, the cultivators are focusing on tribal regions to get exempted from the taxes levied by the government. This is anticipated to lower the overall cost of cultivation of marijuana in the state and cultivators can sell marijuana at lower prices. Lower prices of marijuana are further projected to boost the adoption of marijuana in the market.
The Middle Eastern and Asian countries rarely encourage using marijuana, even for medical purposes. The countries in these regions have stringent laws and punishments for those caught or found consuming cannabis and are not in favor of lessening these laws or decriminalizing them. Thus, very few countries have legalized the adoption of marijuana for medical purpose. For instance, drug regulations in Indonesia also include life imprisonment, USD 1.2 million fine, and even a death penalty for those consuming illegal drugs including marijuana. This is expected to hamper the medical marijuana market growth in these regions.

We utilized different methods of legal marijuana market data depending on the type of information we were trying to uncover in our research.
Market Research Efforts: Bottom-up Approach for estimating and forecasting demand size and opportunity, top-down Approach for new product forecasting and penetration, and combined approach of both Bottom-up and Top-down for full coverage analysis.
Value-Chain-Based Sizing & Forecasting: Supply-side estimates for understanding potential revenue through competitive benchmarking, forecasting, and penetration modeling.
Demand-side estimates for identifying parent and ancillary markets, segment modeling, and heuristic forecasting.
Qualitative Functional Deployment (QFD) Modelling for market share assessment.
Market formulation and validation: We mine the data collected to establish baselines for forecasting, identify trends and opportunities, gain insight into consumer demographics and drivers, and so much more. We utilize different methods of data analysis depending on the type of information we’re trying to uncover in our research.
Market Formulation: This step involves the finalization of market numbers. This step on an internal level is designed to manage outputs from the Data Analysis step.
Data Normalization: The final market estimates and forecasts are then aligned and sent to industry experts, in-panel quality control managers for validation.
This step also entails the finalization of the report scope and data representation pattern.
Validation: The process entails multiple levels of validation. All these steps run in parallel, and the study is forwarded for publishing only if all three levels render validated results.
The legal marijuana market was categorized into three segments, namely product type (Flower, Oil and Tinctures), application (Medical, Adult Use), and region (North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and Africa).
The legal marijuana market was segmented into product type, application, and regions. The demand at a segment level was deduced using a funnel method. Concepts like the TAM, SAM, SOM, etc., were put into practice to understand the demand. We at GVR deploy three methods to deduce market estimates and determine forecasts. These methods are explained below:
