Cannabis Packaging Market To Reach $9,061.40 Million By 2030

Cannabis Packaging Market Growth & Trends

The global cannabis packaging market size is expected to reach USD 9,061.40 million by 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc., expanding at a CAGR of 22.7% from 2024 to 2030. The growing legalization of cannabis consumption for medical and recreational use is contributing to market growth. Cannabis products are sensitive to factors, such as light, moisture, and air. Packaging solutions that provide adequate protection against these elements are crucial to maintaining the quality and potency of the products. Furthermore, cannabis products are marketed in various forms, such as flowers, edibles, concentrates, and topicals. Each product format may require a specific packaging solution to address storage and usage requirements. In January 2024, NBi FlexPack launched child-resistant pouches with high barrier resistance films designed to pack cannabis products, such as gummies, flower, or other edibles.

The rapid growth of the cannabis industry has spurred innovation in packaging design, sustainability, and functionality, leading to patent filing related to cannabis packaging products. For instance, U.S.-based Tin Canna develops cannabis packaging products under the Eco Packaging Solutions portfolio. Its packaging is compliant with the packaging recycling regulations, which makes it a sustainable packaging option. Its U.S. Patent 15/013,375: Titled "Cannabis Vaporizer Cartridge with Integrated Dose Metering and Tracking Features," was filed on October 29, 2020, and was published on May 31, 2023. Moreover, environmental awareness and sustainability are shaping the preferences of cannabis-selling companies as well as cannabis packaging manufacturers.

This includes the development of sustainable materials (such as paperboard-based packaging) or alternatives to plastics (such as eco-shell developed by Spark Sourcing). The market players are undertaking several strategic initiatives, such as new product developments, expansions, joint ventures, and mergers & acquisitions, to increase their market share. For instance, in October 2023, Brandmydispo, a U.S.-based packaging company, introduced new technologically advanced cannabis pouches and cannabis custom packaging solutions equipped with near-field communication (NFC) technology, real-time freshness indicators, and QR codes. However, the guidelines concerning the usage of cannabis and cannabis packaging products vary from one country to another, thus creating limitations for market expansion across different countries.
