Cannabis pharmaceuticals constitute an ever-growing segment of the global market that, according to analysts at Polaris Market Research, will be worth $5.72 billion by 2027. 

Their predictions suggest that the worldwide market will inflate at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 75.7 percent between the years 2020 and 2027.

In 2019, Europe accounted for the largest share of the global cannabis pharmaceuticals market, at which point it had generated a valuation of $67.3 million. Based on new insights, the market is expected to undergo significant growth as it matures. 

Some of the primary catalysts for growth, say analysts, are favorable legislative changes, research and development (R&D) investments, and ever-changing policies among developed economies. 

The R&D aspect pertains to technological advancements in the development of accurately-dosed cannabis-infused drugs; specifically, products with innovative delivery methods and blockchain technology, which can be relied on to maintain strain purity.

British drugs company GW Pharmaceuticals got a mention in Polaris’ global cannabis pharmaceuticals market report.

Moreover, by 2027, a vast portion of market share will be gobbled up by the hospitals pharmacies segment, say Polaris analysts. This, they believe, is being driven by more physicians recommending cannabis-based medicines from in-house pharmacy stores.
