Request Covid - 19 Impact


Overview

Cannabis is currently used in many applications in industries such as healthcare, food & beverage, etc. Cannabis and products infused with cannabis must comply with stringent guidelines and rules that are enforced by respective governments across the globe. As such, the need for quality compliant packaging is given importance among cannabis manufacturers. These guidelines may hinder the growth of the global cannabis packaging. Guidelines such as the packaging need to be child-resistant, tamper-evident, resealable. And in the case of edible cannabis products, the packaging must be opaque. Packaging of cannabis is done in jars, bags, bottles, vials, wrappers, concentrated containers, tubes, etc.

Dynamics

Drivers: The rising use of cannabis for both medicinal and recreational purposes are major factors contributing significantly to the growth of the global cannabis packaging market. The decision of legitimizing the use of cannabis by governments of countries especially in North America is boosting further growth of the cannabis packaging market.

Cannabis packaging is extremely important as there are varied regulations imposed by different governments across the globe. They state that the packaging of cannabis products should have a uniform and single color,  with a font style that is standardized.  The rising use of cannabis in the medical industry to treat various chronic conditions, such as Alzheimer's, epilepsy, etc., is anticipated to fuel the cannabis packaging market’s growth in the coming years. Cannabis is used to reduce nausea and vomiting during chemotherapy, improve appetites in HIV/AIDS patients, and reduce chronic pain as well as muscle spasms.

The cannabis packaging market is slated to index steady growth over the next few years due to the increase in demand for recreational and medicinal cannabis products. Furthermore, the legalization of cannabis in various countries is another factor that is fostering the global cannabis packaging market’s growth. However, stringent regulations related to cannabis packaging may restrain the cannabis packaging market’s future growth.
