Cannabinoid Derived Pharmaceutical Market Size is valued at USD 12.6 Billion in 2024 and is predicted to reach USD 81.1 Billion by the year 2034 at an 20.8% CAGR during the forecast period for 2025-2034.
Cannabinoids are naturally occurring compounds derived from the Cannabis sativa plant. In recent years, Cannabinoids/medical marijuana have witnessed increased attention due to its growing therapeutic applications in human medicine. Cannabinoid’s active components are potentially effective in treating a variety of conditions, including chronic pain, cancer pain, depression, anxiety disorders, sleep disturbances, and neurological disorders. The recent upsurge in the use and acceptance of CBD can be principally attributed to the onset of cannabis legalization across the United States. Most recently, the passage of the 2018 Farm Bill, which legalized the cultivation of hemp – cannabis with less than 0.3 percent THC by weight.
The demand for cannabinoid extracts and isolates is expected to grow exponentially in the coming years, on account of the anticipated shift in consumer preferences for derivative cannabis product formats, and the applications for cannabinoids in pharmaceutical applications. The market is also driven by growing awareness about the therapeutic benefits paired with healing properties associated with cannabidiol (CBD). Moreover, cannabidiol (CBD) is widely used in several medical applications such as treatment of anxiety and depression, stress relief, diabetes prevention, mitigation of pain, alleviation of cancer symptoms, and acne reduction. The market is expected to show lucrative opportunities over the forecast period owing to the augmented adoption of CBD-based products for treating various medical conditions.
The global Cannabinoid Derived Pharmaceutical market is segmented on the basis of product, application, and region. Based on the products, the market is divided into Cannabinoid Receptor Type 1 (CB1), Cannabinoid Receptor Type 2 (CB2), and Others. On the basis of application type, the market is segmented into Alzheimer’s Disease, Autism, Cancer, Chronic Pain, Epilepsy, Migraine, Multiple Sclerosis, Schizophrenia, and Others. By Formulation segment the market is divided into Oils and Tinctures, Capsules and Tablets, Oral Sprays, Topicals, Others. The Cannabinoid Type category comprises Cannabidiol (CBD), Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), Others. Based on region, the market is studied across North America, Asia-Pacific, Europe, and LAMEA. Among that, Europe held the largest share of the market, followed by America and Asia Pacific. On the other hand, North America is expected to dominate the market during the analysis of the forecast period.

InsightAce Analytic follows a standard and comprehensive market research methodology focused on offering the most accurate and precise market insights. The methods followed for all our market research studies include three significant steps – primary research, secondary research, and data modeling and analysis - to derive the current market size and forecast it over the forecast period. In this study, these three steps were used iteratively to generate valid data points (minimum deviation), which were cross-validated through multiple approaches mentioned below in the data modeling section.
Through secondary research methods, information on the market under study, its peer, and the parent market was collected. This information was then entered into data models. The resulted data points and insights were then validated by primary participants.
Based on additional insights from these primary participants, more directional efforts were put into doing secondary research and optimize data models. This process was repeated till all data models used in the study produced similar results (with minimum deviation). This way, this iterative process was able to generate the most accurate market numbers and qualitative insights.
Secondary research
The secondary research sources that are typically mentioned to include, but are not limited to:
The paid sources for secondary research like Factiva, OneSource, Hoovers, and Statista
Primary Research:
Primary research involves telephonic interviews, e-mail interactions, as well as face-to-face interviews for each market, category, segment, and subsegment across geographies
The contributors who typically take part in such a course include, but are not limited to:
Data Modeling and Analysis:
In the iterative process (mentioned above), data models received inputs from primary as well as secondary sources. But analysts working on these models were the key. They used their extensive knowledge and experience about industry and topic to make changes and fine-tuning these models as per the product/service under study.
The standard data models used while studying this market were the top-down and bottom-up approaches and the company shares analysis model. However, other methods were also used along with these – which were specific to the industry and product/service under study.
