This first-of-its-kind comparative assessment concludes that the disparity in evolving regulations at the national and state levels is introducing significant uncertainty, challenges and risk for industry stakeholders globally. It also spotlights the importance of considering consumer sentiment and behavior in the development of regional and global regulation.
“While New Frontier Data has found the overall cannabis regulatory framework to be highly fragmented and nuanced across national and state borders, we expect consumer sentiment and behavior to be the consistent driving force behind regulatory evolution, maturation, and ideally, global standardization or, at the very least, regional standardization,” noted Giadha A. DeCarcer, Founder and Executive Chair of New Frontier Data. “Our latest study shows cannabis consumers demand quality standards that align with more mature consumer packaged goods sectors, creating opportunities across compliance, lab testing, packaging, labeling and other ancillary verticals needed to support more rigorous and standardized regulation.”
Key Report Findings :
- Consumer sentiment will influence regulations with 66% of cannabis consumers agreeing that legal cannabis is safer than illegal cannabis, and 77% of consumers citing potency as a “very” or “extremely” important driver in purchasing decisions.
- Potency caps in future legislation will likely include limits on THC to protect younger and inexperienced users, and in the absence of a unified regulatory structure, states are evaluating potency caps individually.
- Inconsistent CBD regulations in Europe have created a patchwork landscape for CBD products where average per capita annual spend on CBD was projected to reach €21Billion in 2020.
