Cannabis is a psychoactive drug derived from the Cannabis sativa plant and used for medical as well as recreational purposes. It can be taken through different forms, such as capsules, tinctures, dermal patches, dermal sprays and edibles. It assists in weight loss and treating chronic pain, muscle spasms, nausea, diabetes, depression, inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD), attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), glaucoma, and seizures. It is packed in jars, bottles, bags, pouches, tubes, and metal tins to prevent damage while transporting, handling, and storing. At present, the legalization of cannabis in several countries worldwide on account of increasing job growth and investment opportunities are catalyzing the demand for cannabis packaging.

Cannabis Packaging Market Trends:

The growing utilization of cannabis in the healthcare industry represents one of the major factors driving the market. It is used in medical conditions, such as cancer, arthritis, migraines, epilepsy, Alzheimer’s, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), Parkinson’s and Tourette’s, due to its therapeutic benefits. In addition, there is a rise in the application of cannabis in the food and beverage (F&B) industry to manufacture nutritional supplements, sparkling water, and confectionery and bakery products, which is offering lucrative growth opportunities to the end users and investors. Besides this, the increasing adoption of automation in cannabis packaging to focus on sustainability, regulations, and branding is contributing to the growth of the market. Additionally, there is a rise in the prevalence of stress among individuals due to the overuse of social media and poor sleeping habits. This, in turn, is stimulating the growth of the market. Furthermore, stringent regulations imposed by governments of various countries on the packaging of cannabis are propelling key players to offer tamper-evident, child-resistant, re-sealable, and opaque packaging for edible cannabis products. They are also introducing recyclable packaging variants, such as compostable pouches, biodegradable cellophane bags and metal cans, which are projected to bolster the growth of the market.
