The global cannabis testing market size reached USD 1.59 billion in 2024. Looking forward, the market is projected to reach USD 4.19 billion by 2033, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 10.78% during 2025-2033. The increasing awareness among the masses about the benefits of cannabis testing, rising number of advanced laboratories, and the growing utilization of laboratory information management system (LIMS) represent some of the key factors driving the market.
Cannabis, also known as marijuana, is obtained from the dried flowers, leaves, stems, and seeds of the Cannabis sativa or Cannabis indica plant. It comprises three major compounds, such as Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), Cannabidiol (CBD), and cannabinol (CBN). It is widely used in hand-rolled cigarettes, water pipes, and cigars. It is also inhaled via vaporizers that pull the ingredients from the cannabis and collect their vapor in a storage unit to avoid smoking. It has psychoactive, non-intoxicating, and non-euphoric properties, which help reduce inflammation and pain. It also assists in treating various medical conditions, such as chronic pain, glaucoma, and poor appetite. Besides this, it aids in preventing nausea, migraine, seizures, and anxiety. At present, there is a rise in the demand for cannabis testing to examine the level of contaminants and impurities, such as residual solvents, mold, disease, pests, or pesticide residue, across the globe.

Cannabis Testing Market Trends:
The increasing need for cannabis testing due to the exposure of cannabis plants to heavy metals from the soil, fungus, molds, and pesticides currently represents one of the key factors supporting the market growth. In addition, various regulatory agencies are establishing maximum quantity limits on residual solvents, insecticides, microbes, and mycotoxins for testing plant samples around the world. In line with this, the growing number of advanced laboratories to conduct cannabis testing is presently offering a favorable market outlook. Besides this, the rising legalization of medical cannabis to treat various diseases is offering lucrative growth opportunities to industry investors. Moreover, the increasing awareness among the masses about the benefits of cannabis testing through conferences, symposia, and workshops is propelling the growth of the market. Apart from this, there is a rise in the utilization of laboratory information management system (LIMS) in research laboratories to collect, track, and maintain data throughout the development, bioanalytical, and manufacturing processes. This, along with the increasing cultivation of cannabis around the world, is strengthening the growth of the market. Additionally, the growing employment of spectroscopy technology in cannabis testing, such as real-time analysis, high throughput, and minimal requirements for sample preparation, is positively influencing the market.Key Market Segmentation:
