Recreational segment is projected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period.

The recreational segment is projected to remain concentrated in the North American region. Despite its low availability in various countries, the consumption and demand levels are higher as compared to that of medicinal cannabis, due to which the demand for recreational cannabis is projected to surpass the demand for medical cannabis. Therefore, the legalization of recreational cannabis across other regions could translate into a larger market share for this segment. Due to these factors, the recreational segment is projected to witness the fastest growth in the cannabis market during the forecast period.

In-terms of product type, flowers to account for the largest share during the forecast period.

The flower is the actual bud that is found on the cannabis plant. Once harvested and dried, a flower is typically either smoked or vaporized. It is the section of the plant which can be smoked, also known as nuggets or bud. The dominance of the flower segment can be largely attributed to its wider availability and versatility in terms of offering numerous methods of consumption. Smoking or vaping cannabis flowers have a faster effect on consumers than consuming them for pain relief. Additionally, in comparison to concentrates, flowers are extensively able to retain a higher degree of flavor and aroma, which could be beneficial for a stronger consumer appeal. Additionally, flowers contain a higher degree of THC compounds as they are the most unprocessed and raw form of the plant, making them extremely appealing for recreational purposes.

The THC-dominant segment to account for the largest share during the forecast period.

The THC-dominant segment dominated the market in 2020 and is projected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period to reach USD 60.5 billion by 2026. The dominance of this segment is majorly attributed to the fact that THC is the psychoactive substance in cannabis products that are responsible for the high. Even though high THC content is better known for its euphoria-inducing tendencies, it also has important medical benefits and is considered effective in relieving nausea, appetite loss, and insomnia, among other symptoms.
