The cannabinoids market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• The size of the cannabinoids market has witnessed a significant expansion lately. It is projected to escalate from $39.45 billion in 2024 to $47.43 billion in 2025, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 20.2%. The remarkable growth experienced during the historic period can be accredited to factors like the legalization of medical cannabis, growing recognition and acceptance of cannabis, advances in research and development, alterations in regulation, heightened awareness of the benefits of cannabinoids, investments made in the cannabis industry, and a consumer shift towards natural products.
The Cannabinoids market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• In the coming years, we can anticipate an exponential escalation in the cannabinoids market size, projected to reach $101.9 billion in 2029 with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 21.1%.
The expected growth during the forecast period can be linked to numerous factors such as further legalization and decriminalization, advanced research, wide-ranging product availability, global market growth, and public health advocacy efforts. The forecast period will also see major trends such as growing acceptance and reduction of stigmatization, enhancement of product variety, innovations in product delivery, high quality and safety standards, as well as initiatives focusing on social equality and inclusivity.
The escalating incidence of chronic conditions is projected to spur the growth of the cannabinoid market. Chronic conditions are those that persist for a year or more and necessitate continuous medical care. The utility of cannabinoids, including smoked marijuana, orally administered cannabis extract medications, nabilone, dronabinol, and a recent THC analogue in managing enduring noncancer pain was thoroughly evaluated in a series of randomized controlled trials. For instance, data from the World Health Organization in September 2023 - a Switzerland-based specialized UN agency - confirmed 41 million deaths, amounting to 74% of deaths resulting from non-communicable diseases (NCDs) or chronic illnesses worldwide each year. Consequently, the heightened incidence of chronic conditions is fostering the expansion of the cannabinoid market.

Leading businesses in the cannabinoids market, such as CBG and CBD, are concentrating their efforts on the production of innovative cannabis-infused cosmetic products to strengthen their foothold in the market. These cosmetics, which are laced with cannabis or its extracts like CBD or CBG, are prevalent in the beauty industry due to their many benefits such as skin hydration, anti-aging, and anti-inflammatory properties. For example, British Cannabis, a prominent UK-based cannabis provider, launched the Synergy CBG and CBD Rescue Cream in November 2022. This product is the first one in the UK's cannabis cosmetics region to undergo clinical exams and has improved further by the addition of another active component, CBG. With the combination of cannabidiol (CBD) and cannabigerol (CBG), two legal extracts from the cannabis plant, Synergy CBD Rescue Cream stands as a natural cream that is among the most all-encompassing skincare items available.
