Market Highlights

Cannabis is now broadly recognized and used for its medical benefits. People consume seed oil, flowers, leaves, and other parts of the cannabis plant for medicinal and recreational purposes. Rising demand for medical cannabis in markets where cannabis consumption is legal is a major factor driving the cannabis packaging market growth. In the U.S., cannabis is used to produce various medications; for instance, in 2018, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved a medication derived from cannabis called Epidiolex. This is a purified form of CBD with zero THC content used to treat severe and rare types of epilepsy.

Decriminalization and legalization of cannabis use for medical and recreational purposes are expected to further drive market growth. Thirty-seven states in the U.S. allow the use of cannabis for medical purposes for patients with a proper prescription. The increasing cultivation and commercialization of cannabis-based products has enhanced the demand for cannabis packaging solutions. The existing free environment in Canada for cannabis consumption is also estimated to boost the demand for cannabis packaging.

Furthermore, regulatory and consumer concerns regarding increasing packaging waste coupled with fast-moving cannabis producers, suppliers, and retailers focused on improving the sustainability of packaging products are expected to enhance market growth.

In this report, the global market of cannabis packaging has been segmented based on material, cannabis form, and geography. Based on product, the cannabis packaging market has been categorized into plastic, paper and paperboard, glass, metal, and others.

Based on cannabis form, the cannabis packaging market has been segmented into dry cannabis, concentrates, edibles, and others. Dry cannabis accounted for the major share of the market. Cannabis flowers were primarily sold in eight-ounce units in the U.S. in 2021, but consumers are shifting towards higher-volume purchases, indicating a maturing market for dry cannabis.
