Medical Cannabis Market: Introduction
According to the report, the global medical cannabis market was valued at US$ 8 Bn in 2018 and is projected to grow at a rapid pace from 2019 to 2027. The benefit of medical cannabis is that it complements the normal cannabis system called the endocannabinoid system in the body. Interest in and usage of medical cannabis is increasing significantly in several countries. Regulations governing its usage differ across countries and influence medical practice and experience.
The current opinion among the public is that medical cannabis has the therapeutic potential to prevent and treat a long list of disorders. However, there is a significant gap between that assumption and the current evidence in the medical literature. The common view is that medical cannabis is used mostly by young adults. Nevertheless, older adults are increasingly using medical cannabis, and studies show variable prevalence, from about 7% to more than one-third, depending on the country. Cannabis therapy provides the geriatric population with relief from symptoms such as vomiting, sleep difficulties, chronic pain, tremor, agitation, spasticity, nausea, and decreased appetite.

Broadening Range of Cannabis Consumer Products to Drive Global Market
Product invention and advancements in cannabis varieties, infused products, concentrates, vaporizing technology, and cannabis-based pharmaceutical products are projected to drive consumer adoption and spending. Medical cannabis consumer product companies will seek to differentiate their products through marketing, pricing, packaging, distribution, selection, and quality. It is believed that product differentiation and availability will be more prevalent in legal medical cannabis markets and drive consumer transition from illegal to legal markets.
Increase in Use of Cannabidiol (CBD) to Drive Global Market
In terms of derivative, the global medical cannabis market has been classified into cannabidiol (CBD), tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), and others.

Retail Pharmacies to be Major Distribution Channel
In terms of distribution channel, the global medical cannabis market has been classified into hospital pharmacies, retail pharmacies, and online pharmacies. The retail pharmacies segment is driven by high rate of establishment of retail pharmacies.

Considerable production of cannabis in Canada is also anticipated to propel the market in North America during the forecast period. Growth of the medical cannabis market in Europe is attributed to rise in production of cannabis due to legalization of sale of medical cannabis products in several countries in Europe.
