Rising research & development activities for medical cannabis acts as a standalone factor responsible for driving influential growth of overall market. According to the NORML and The NORML Foundation 2022 report, clinical research intended for the therapeutic value of cannabis has proliferated the understanding that medical cannabis can combat disease. For example, scientists are investigating by researching to detect cannabis's capacity to identify moderate autoimmune disorders such as multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, and inflammatory bowel disease. Additionally, scientists are researching to identify the role of medical cannabis consumption in treating neurological disorders such as Alzheimer's disease and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, i.e., Lou Gehrig’s disease). Further, researchers are also studying the anti-cancer activities of cannabis involved in reducing the spread of cancer cells. Also, various regions like Europe are encouraging the consumption of medical cannabis to advance patient access and improve the health outcomes of patients. For example, The European Medicinal Cannabis Association (EUMCA), registered under the Belgian Code des Sociétés et des Associations and registered on the European Commission Transparency Registry, operates in the research and development, production, and distribution of medical cannabis treatment across the Europe region. Such aforementioned factors are responsible for enhancing the overall consumption of medical cannabis during the analysis period of 2022-2028.

The emerging government policy and regulatory relaxation is expected to provide a lucrative growth opportunity for the overall market. Legal access to medical cannabis products is now increasing by relaxing restrictions. For example, in 2016, the Australian Federal Government legalized access to medical cannabis. Also, more than 100 different cannabis products are now available in Australia to prescribe, the majority involving oral preparations (oils) or capsules containing delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol or cannabidiol. The majority of the prescriptions are intended for chronic, non-cancer pain, anxiety, cancer-related symptoms, epilepsy, and other neurological disorders. Further, the legalization of cannabis policy provides lucrative opportunities involving therapeutic benefits. For example, in the US, Washington State earmarked cannabis tax revenue to fund a continuous cannabis research program. Additionally, other states, such as New York, reviewed the potential impacts of regulating a recreational cannabis supply chain and health reforms. More efforts with legal access to medical cannabis will provide lucrative opportunities for overall market growth in the forthcoming years.
