Increasing global awareness about the benefits of cannabis is the key factor driving the growth of the market. There are several initiatives around the world to raise awareness of the benefits of cannabis. Countries such as the US, UK, and New Zealand are key countries where cannabis awareness campaigns are carried out to reach large audiences.
Therefore, as awareness campaigns about the benefits of cannabis increase around the world, it is likely that many players will enter the market, especially those from related industries such as pharmaceuticals and food and beverages, the result is demand for test products and solutions. Such factors are expected to drive the growth of the market during the forecast period.
Growing promotional activities regarding cannabis testing is the primary trend in the market. Vendors should fully communicate the features and benefits of their products to their audience. Unlike other analyzers, brand and product awareness play a limited role in selling cannabis testing devices. Advertising and marketing of cannabis testing products are restricted, and awareness of such products is severely lacking.
However, market leaders have dedicated product pages with interactive videos to enhance knowledge for pharmaceutical companies and cannabis product makers. Twitter and YouTube are also popular digital media platforms for major market players to promote their key products and increase their product visibility online. Hence, such factors will drive the market growth during the forecast period.
Long-term side effects due to excessive use are challenges that affect the growth of the market. Controlled and supervised use of cannabis is beneficial to the body, but overuse can cause long-term side effects. People smoke marijuana in hand-rolled cigarettes, pipes and hookahs. Repeated smoking of cannabis/marijuana causes respiratory problems leading to chronic cough, phlegm and acute bronchitis. Additionally, simultaneous use of cannabis and alcohol aggravates the damage to the body.
Long-term cannabis use can also have psychological effects. Marijuana usually takes 10 minutes to take effect after being smoked. Cannabis triggers chemical reactions in the brain that cause brain dysfunction, causing memory impairment and short-term memory loss. Therefore, the consumption of cheap illegal cannabis without medical supervision is likely to impede the growth of the market during the forecast period.
