Australia Medical Cannabis Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis Report 2024-2030: Entry Of International Players, Consumer Shift in Education, Increasing Preference for Oils and Tinctures


Dublin, Aug. 13, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Australia Medical Cannabis Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis Report by Application (Cancer, AIDS), Sources (Hemp, Marijuana), Derivatives (CBD, THC), and Segment Forecasts, 2024-2030" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

The Australia medical cannabis market size is anticipated to reach USD 860.74 million by 2030 and is growing at a CAGR of 33.6% from 2024 to 2030

The market growth is driven by rising public awareness of the health advantages associated with cannabis consumption. The expanding legalization of marijuana, especially for medical purposes, is expected to significantly contribute to the market growth in Australia.

For instance, in October 2023, the Australian Capital Territory (ACT) introduced certain regulations on the use of cannabis. It stated that individuals aged over 18 can own fresh cannabis up to 150 grams or dried cannabis up to 50 grams. Moreover, several factors, such as the growing legalization of cannabis, expanding patient pool, increasing government initiatives, and the active participation of both domestic & international players in the country, are fueling market growth.



The easing of regulatory restrictions on medical cannabis has created a more favorable environment for the expansion of the market. Regulatory agencies, such as the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA), have simplified the approval procedures for medicinal cannabis products, enhancing patient access to these treatments. According to the Australian Journal of General Practice, as of 2021, over 130,000 medicinal cannabis approvals have been granted in Australia, with the majority being issued by general practitioners. Notably, around 65% of these approvals were for the treatment of chronic non-cancer pain. Furthermore, the authorization of medical cannabis use in various Australian states has significantly improved market conditions, facilitating greater production, distribution, and usage of medicinal cannabis products.

Moreover, the presence of a diverse range of industry stakeholders, including both domestic and international players, has contributed to the dynamism of the market. Established pharmaceutical companies, cannabis cultivators, research institutions, and startups are actively investing in the sector, driving innovation and market competition.

This competitive landscape not only fosters product development and innovation but also helps to drive down prices, making medical cannabis more accessible to patients across Australia. For instance, in January 2024, Cronos Group Inc. announced its entry into the Australia market by commencing the delivery of cannabis flowers to Vitura Health Limited. Due to around 10% of Vitura's common shares, formerly known as Cronos Australia, Cronos would be the cannabis supplier for Vitura. As a result, the market is experiencing sustained growth, with promising prospects for the future.
