Medicines or drugs containing Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) is legalized in many countries namely Chile, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Israel, etc. As per the National Institute on Drug Abuse for Teens, 29 states in the U.S. have passed the government laws allowing people to use cannabis drugs only if recommended by doctors. Hence, the legal utilization of cannabis in medicine is one of the major factors driving the growth of the global cannabis testing market.

Global cannabis testing market is primarily driven by the following factors:

  • Recognition of cannabis for medical and therapeutic use by the medical fraternity
  • The rise in the number of testing facilities
  • The increasing legalization of the use of cannabis for medicine and research
  • Rising awareness about cannabis benefits aided by a strong community support

The lack of skilled professionals in the field of testing of cannabis is one of the key challenges faced by the cannabis testing market. As the medical cannabis market continues to rise, the need for lab tested cannabis will also increase. Also, the initial investment to set up laboratories for cannabis testing is very high. In order to set up a testing laboratory, the basic requirement that must be fulfilled includes testing instrument, inventory control, quality control, qualified staff, data management and administrative functions.

The cannabis testing market has been segmented on the basis of type, product & software, cannabis type and end user. On the basis of type, the market has been further segregated into terpene profiling, heavy metal, microbial analysis, genetic, residual solvent screening, potency and pesticide screening. The growing demand for the potency of the cannabis by the end user to evaluate its strength is boosting the growth in the potency segment. The end users mainly test the cannabis plants specifically for cannabinoids which helps them to evaluate the strength of cannabis and also the effect of cannabis on medical users.
