The global cannabis technology market size is expected to reach USD 23.46 billion by 2030, expanding at a CAGR of 25.3% from 2023 to 2030, according to a new study by Grand View Research, Inc. The rising trend of cannabis legalization in various regions globally is expected to drive companies to develop cannabis consumption technology to attract new customers. Moreover, the increasing medical applications of cannabis are anticipated to drive cultivators in using modern technology to grow specific strains, thereby helping to grow the market.

There is an influx of new technology-focused players entering the market for cannabis tech to develop devices and software for the cultivation, warehousing, and consumption of cannabis. These companies are using modern technologies such as artificial intelligence and genetic engineering to develop high-tech cannabis cultivation and consumption devices. For instance, developments in vertical farming technology have enabled cultivators to maximize growing space and save on energy costs with the help of LED strips and advanced ventilation systems.

North America is anticipated to account for a significant share of the market for cannabis tech over the forecast period owing to the extensive legalization in the region. For instance, 21 states in the U.S. have legalized the recreational use of cannabis. Additionally, the trend of cannabis dispensaries in the region is anticipated to drive regional growth. The significance of these cannabis dispensaries is that they are legal and enable the government to collect taxes on the total sales of cannabis.
