Cannabis Testing Services Market Segment Insights
Potency testing segment is anticipated to hold a major share
On the basis of types, the global cannabis testing services is segmented into terpene profiling, pesticide screening, residual solvent screening, potency testing, heavy metal testing, microscopy testing, and others. The potency testing segment is anticipated to hold a major market share in the coming years owing to wide adoption of techniques such as high performance liquid chromatography and gas chromatography for examining the samples.
Moreover, the testing type is also widely adopted for testing the potency of cannabidol (CBD) and tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) present in cannabis plants. This factor is expected to boost the segment growth. Furthermore, potency testing service ensures that consumers are well informed about the standards of the products, which is further anticipated to propel the segment expansion during the forecast period.
On the other hand, the microscopy testing segment is expected to register a high CAGR during the forecast period due to rising demand for quality checks for cannabinoids to make sure accurate labeling of products in medical and recreational markets.
Cannabis cultivators/growers segment is expected to capture a large market share
Based on end-users, the market is categorized as cannabis cultivators/growers, cannabis drug manufacturers, and others. The Cannabis cultivators/growers is expected to capture a large market share in the coming years owing to the emerging wide collaborating of cannabis cultivators with the professional testing laboratories and research centers.
In various countries, governments have imposed stricter rules and regulations on the THC content found in cannabis products. However, cultivators got to sell different sort of plants supported their CBD and THC content to producers and distributors at different rates. These are the major factors contributing to the expansion of the segment.
On the one hand, the cannabis drug manufacturers segment is anticipated to boost up its market share during the forecast period. The increasing usage of marijuana as a medicinal treatment as well as expansion in cannabis-based clinical trials by prominent pharmaceutical companies such as Sanofi, Solvay Pharmaceuticals, and Pfizer, are driving the segment growth.
Sanofi, for example, has done thirty-eight cannabis-based clinical trials while Solvay Pharmaceuticals has conducted seven and Pfizer has conducted four.
North America is expected to dominate the market
In terms of regions, the global cannabis testing services market is classified as Asia Pacific, North America, Latin America, Europe, and Middle East & Africa. North America is expected to dominate the market, accounting for a significant growth rate in the coming years. The regional market growth can be attributed to the existence of a significant number of cultivators as well as an increase in the number of testing laboratories in the region.
Favorable governments' policies for the use of cannabis products for several medical applications and gradual expansion of the regional marijuana producers are key factors contributing the market growth in this region.
The market of Europe, on the other hand, is estimated to develop at a fast growth rate during the forecast period.
