APAC Cannabis Testing Market

APAC Cannabis Testing Market Size (2024 to 2029)

The size of the cannabis testing market in the Asia Pacific is predicted to value USD 282.72 Million in 2024 and USD 489.41 million by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 11.6% from 2024 to 2029.

The legalization of medicinal cannabis and the expanding number of cannabis testing laboratories, the growing adoption of LIMS (Laboratory Information Management Systems) in cannabis testing laboratories, and more awareness are key factors promoting the cannabis testing market growth in the APAC region. In general, as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, there has been a rise in demand for analytical instruments and a significant increase in equipment production. Furthermore, because cannabis extracts are employed in medical research, demand for this equipment has remained steady even during the pandemic.

Several research on the overall composition of cannabis has revealed that it has various medical characteristics and can be used to treat chronic and fatal diseases such as cancer. Growing investment in cannabis research and development has opened up a slew of new possibilities for cannabis use. As a result, the market for cannabis testing equipment has grown. Many regulatory authorities have begun establishing maximum concentration limits on residual solvents, insecticides, pesticides, heavy metals, microorganisms, and mycotoxins for analyzing plant samples. It also resulted in opening a slew of new labs, particularly in areas where cultivation is increasing. For the growing patient population, Asia is poised to legalize medical cannabis.

Over the forecast period, the number is expected to grow at an exponential rate. As a result of this growth in numbers, establishing reliable testing services to ensure the quality of produced cannabis has become a need. Pharmaceutical businesses must follow the government's strict quality testing standards before cannabis may be used in pharmaceuticals and increase cannabis awareness through advertising, conferences, and seminars. Increased demand from domestic manufacturing, on the other hand, is expected to boost the growth of the Asia Pacific cannabis testing market in the coming years.

The expansion of the cannabis testing market in the APAC region is likely to be hampered by a lack of standardization in-laws and regulations, high costs, and insufficient employees. One of the most significant issues in this market is the high expense of starting a cannabis testing laboratory. These laboratories must make considerable investments in high-priced, modern analytical equipment to purchase and maintain it.
