Increasing Legalization of Cannabis, Growing Number of Cannabis-Based Clinical Trials and Technological Advancements are Major Factors Anticipated to Drive the Market Growth

One of the major factors driving the global cannabis testing market is the increasing legalization of cannabis. In recent years, there has been a growing trend towards the legalization of cannabis, both for medical and recreational use, in various countries worldwide. As more countries legalize cannabis, the demand for cannabis testing services is increasing, as there is a need to ensure that the products are safe and comply with regulatory standards.

For instance; in 2018, Farm Bill legalized the cultivation, processing, and sale of hemp and hemp-derived products in the United States, which has opened up a new market for hemp-based products such as CBD oil. Similarly, many countries in Europe and Asia have been legalizing medical cannabis to address the increasing patient population suffering from various medical conditions that can be treated with cannabis-based product

In addition, the growing number of cannabis-based clinical trials are also supplementing the market growth. There has been a growing interest in conducting clinical trials to explore the potential therapeutic benefits of cannabis-based products. These clinical trials are focused on evaluating the safety and efficacy of cannabis-based products for treating various medical conditions such as chronic pain, epilepsy, multiple sclerosis, and nausea caused by chemotherapy, among others.

The results of these clinical trials can provide valuable insights into the medical uses of cannabis and help inform the development of new cannabis-based treatments. The growth in the number of clinical trials is also driving the demand for high-quality cannabis products that meet the standards required for use in clinical studies.

For instance; on January 17^th, 2022; Bod Australia, a medicinal cannabis company, received clinical trial authorization from the UK Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) to conduct a trial of its cannabis-based product, MediCabilis 5%, to treat long Covid-19. The trial will investigate the potential of MediCabilis 5% to alleviate symptoms associated with long Covid-19, such as fatigue, brain fog, and respiratory problems.

Moreover, rising number of technological advancements are also fostering the market growth. The advancements in testing technologies are leading to the development of new and improved testing methods for cannabis products. This is driving the demand for cannabis testing services to ensure that products are tested using the latest technologies and techniques.

However, the high startup cost of cannabis testing laboratories is expected to hinder the market growth. In spite of that, development of standardized testing methods may  provide more opportunities  for the further growth of global cannabis testing market.

North America is Expected to Dominate Global Cannabis Testing Market

North America is expected to dominate the global cannabis testing market due to  rigorous guidelines, presence of major market players and favorable legislation in this region. The rigorous guidelines set by the government for marijuana cultivators have led to an increase in the number of testing laboratories in North America.

For instance; the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has finalized a guidance document for conducting clinical research on cannabis-derived products. The guidance is aimed at helping sponsors and investigators navigate the regulatory requirements for conducting clinical trials on drugs containing cannabis or cannabis-derived compounds. This has helped to ensure the safety and quality of cannabis products, which is critical to the growth of the cannabis market.

In addition, North America is home to a large number of cannabis cultivators, particularly in the United States and Canada. The presence of a large number of cultivators in the region has led to an increase in demand for testing services, which is driving the growth of the cannabis testing market. For instance; Thermo Fischer Inc., Digi path Inc, Step Hill Inc., SC Laboratories Inc., and Pharm labs LLC.

Moreover, the legalization of cannabis for medical and/or recreational use in several states in the U.S. and across Canada has been a significant driver of the cannabis market's growth in North America. The easing of regulations has opened up new markets, creating new opportunities for cannabis producers, retailers, and investors, which is driving the demand for testing services.

The Europe is Expected to Experience a Significant Growth  in the Global Cannabis Testing Market

The European market for cannabis testing services is expected to experience significant growth due to the increasing legalization of cannabis and the rising usage of cannabis in drug development and research in this region. As more countries legalize medical cannabis, the demand for testing services is likely to increase, as regulators seek to ensure that cannabis products are safe and of high quality.

In addition, another factor driving the growth of the cannabis testing market in Europe is the rising usage of cannabis in drug development and research. For instance; as per the news published on February 16^th, 2023; Oxford planned to study trial cannabis-based medicine as treatment for psychosis, in which the Oxford scientists will investigate whether cannabis-based medicine can treat people with psychosis or psychotic symptoms. Hence, as more research is conducted on the medical potential of cannabis, the demand for testing services is likely to increase.

Moreover, the market for cannabis products is strictly regulated in Europe, with most countries banning products containing more than 0.3% THC. This has created a need for accurate and reliable testing services to ensure that products are in compliance with these regulations. As the cannabis industry in Europe continues to mature, the demand for testing services is expected to grow rapidly.
