The use of cannabis as medicine is not rigorously tested due to government restrictions and resulting in limited clinical research to define the efficacy of cannabis in medical and clinical applications. However, preliminary studies suggest that cannabis reduces vomiting and nausea in chemotherapy patients and helps in increasing appetite.

Eight U.S. states supported cannabis prescriptions, between 1996 and 1999, by opposing policies of the federal government. Most people who are prescribed medical cannabis use it to alleviate severe pain.

The increased medicinal use of cannabis, the growing geriatric population who are more susceptible to chronic illness, the rising prevalence of chronic diseases, and the legalization of cannabis are putting pressure on the key players to develop more cannabis-based medical products to meet the rising demand.

Data Bridge Market Research analyzes that the Medical Cannabis Market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 22.8% in the forecast period of 2023 to 2030 and is expected to reach USD 88,488.01 million by 2030.

Key Findings of the Study

Medical Cannabis Market

The growing geriatric population across the globe is expected to drive the market growth rate

The growing geriatric population across the globe is more susceptible to chronic illness which requires more physician visits. The steadily aging population suffers from various health conditions including diabetes, depression, and dementia among others. Medical cannabis has the properties to treat these diseases and therefore, the growing population is playing a significant role. This growing and aging population, along with the expansion of cannabis programs across the U.S., has inevitably led to the consumption of cannabis by more elderly persons for reported medical purposes as well as for personal use. The geriatric population may benefit from cannabis treatment for a variety of symptoms, such as chronic pain, sleep difficulties, tremor, spasticity, agitation, nausea, vomiting, and reduced appetite
