MARKET SCENARIO

The growing R&D activities around cannabidiol, strong collaboration, and emphasis on innovation are majorly propelling the growth of the Asia-Pacific market.

The growth in Asia’s scientific and research capabilities, coupled with the cultural history of cannabis in the region, is driving the cannabidiol market. The countries in the region are encouraging the use of cannabidiol for treating patients. For instance, in March 2023, the Cannabis 2023 conference was held in Australia regarding advancements in cannabidiol-based drugs in the Asia Pacific and had attendees including policymakers, government authorities, global leaders, healthcare professionals, scientists, and patients from all around the world.

An increase in awareness about the benefits of cannabidiol is expanding the market share in the region. Both cannabis-derived cannabidiol and industrial hemp-derived cannabidiol are becoming popular, but CBD from cannabis is more effective. Also, APAC countries are passing laws governing the cultivation, export, and patient access of cannabis. As a result, the demand for cannabidiol from licensed producers and for medical research increased manyfold.

The APAC cannabidiol market growth is fueled by the expansion of science as well as by the growing interest from patients and the medical community.

For instance, the demand for cannabidiol products has increased in Australia, and the number of licensed doctors has gone up, which further improved cannabidiol access to patients. Advancements in cannabidiol technology will boost the demand for cannabidiol products, like the integration of innovative techniques with research to improve active compound’s potential. Therefore, such developments will propel the market share during the forecast period.

Major factors limiting the growth of the APAC cannabidiol market are continuous regulatory changes, little knowledge about raw material quality, limited awareness, correct production practice, molecular absorption, etc. Also, the high cost of cannabidiol products is another issue in front of the APAC market. It is more popular among patients with anxiety, pain, epilepsy, and sleep problems, which increases the prices of these products. Furthermore, companies are also finding it difficult to raise funds because of changing legal status. This increases the cost of products. The side effects of cannabidiol products are one of the major challenges for the APAC cannabidiol market. Also, poor implementation of quality control standards and regulations is hindering the market growth rate. Since cannabis became legal in some Asian countries, daily usage has increased considerably, especially by young adults.
