Cannabinoid Biosynthesis Market Size is predicted to witness a 14.2% CAGR during the forecast period for 2023-2031.
Cannabinoids found in the cannabis sativa plant. The plant contains about 480 distinct chemicals, including 66 cannabinoids. Biosynthesis is the process by which cannabinoids are produced. Enzymatic reactions using substances derived from either natural or synthetic sources are carried out in controlled environments in laboratories to carry out the process. The market for pharmaceuticals derived from cannabinoids is being propelled by the potential medicinal benefits of these compounds, which include the alleviation of chemotherapy-related symptoms, chronic pain, and muscular spasms. The market for cannabinoid biosynthesis is expected to grow as more is learned about its therapeutic effects through research. Products derived from cannabinoids have seen a surge in demand due to the popularity of alternative medicine is growing and also the growing preference for natural and plant-based healthcare solutions. Furthermore, products derived from cannabinoids are in high demand due to the global trend toward legalizing cannabis. The need for biosynthetic cannabinoids is predicted to rise as the usage of medicinal cannabis, and its derivatives becomes legal in more nations.
However, the market growth is hampered by the lack of awareness of the safety as well as health of the cannabinoid biosynthesis market and the product's inability to prevent fog in environments with dramatic temperature fluctuations or high humidity cannabinoid biosynthesis. Cannabinoid biosynthesis is still in its infancy in comparison to more established ways of cannabinoid manufacturing, which poses problems in terms of funding for research and development. Potentially stunting market expansion is the current state of knowledge on the safety and long-term impacts of biosynthetic cannabinoids.
The widespread prejudice and discrimination that surrounds cannabis usage, especially when used medicinally, can have an impact on how widely used and accepted cannabinoid products are. Market expansion could be stunted if consumers and healthcare providers are misled about the safety and effectiveness of cannabis. Several cannabinoid-based products, including cannabinol, cannabigerol, and cannabidiolic acid, were affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. The early months of the epidemic saw panic buying, which further reduced product appeal, priority, and sales.
The cannabinoid biosynthesis market is segmented based on type and application. Based on type, the market is segmented into balanced THC and CBD, cannabidiol-dominant, THC-dominant, and others. The application segment is segmented into pain management, anxiety management, appetite stimulation, and nausea management.
The anxiety management cannabinoid biosynthesis market will hold a major global market share in 2022. The anxiety management subsegment is likely to grow faster than any other. There has been a rise in the usage of cannabinoids as an alternative treatment option for stress and anxiety, with CBD, in particular, showing promise in this regard. This subsegment of the cannabinoid biosynthesis market has been expanding due to rising customer knowledge of cannabis' medicinal properties and the need for safe, effective alternatives to pharmaceutical anxiety treatments.
The THC-dominant industry makes up the bulk of cannabinoid biosynthesis usage because of its euphoric properties; tetrahydrocannabinol, or THC, is used both recreationally and medicinally, particularly for the treatment of nausea and chronic pain. The THC-dominant segment of the cannabinoid biosynthesis market is experiencing rapid expansion because of the increasing legalization of cannabis in various places and the increasing adoption of THC-based products, especially in countries like the US, Germany, the UK, China, and India.
The North American cannabinoid biosynthesis market is expected to register the maximum market share in revenue in the near future. It can be attributed to the fact that many states have passed legislation decriminalizing cannabis for both recreational and medical use. The result is a strong market for goods derived from cannabis. In addition, Asia Pacific is estimated to grow rapidly in the global cannabinoid biosynthesis market because of the increasing legality of cannabinoid-based medicines, the rising popularity of medical cannabis, and the diversified healthcare demands of the growing population.
