Global Industrial Hemp Overview
Cannabis sativa belongs to the botanical class known as industrial hemp, which is distinguished by the amount of THC it contains. Product demand is accelerated by the products' versatility and growing need in a variety of applications, including food and drink, nutritional supplements, textiles, and meals.
Thirty nations - including Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Canada, Colombia, Denmark, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Mexico, and the Netherlands - have allowed cannabis use for medical purposes. Product adoption is triggered by the growing usage of hemp-derived cannabidiol (CBD) oil to treat chronic pain, anxiety, and stress.
The United States Department of Agriculture reports that 54,152 acres were planted with industrial hemp for all purposes in the country. This hemp was grown outdoors. US hemp production in the open market was valued at USD 712 million. US$112 million was the total production value of hemp cultivated under protection in the US.
With over 40% of global pharmaceutical revenues coming from the pharmaceutical industry, the US has the largest pharmaceutical sector in the world. Even if it has recently declined, it will probably increase in the upcoming years. This increase is being driven by the aging and growing population in the United States. Furthermore, 15% of Americans are 65 years of age or older, and this number is expected to rise in the coming years. In general, the market demand for industrial hemp is anticipated to be driven by the expanding needs of the pharmaceutical sector.
