Growing Public Acceptance as a Catalyst for Cannabis Cultivation Expansion
One of the main factors propelling the cannabis cultivation market is the increasing acceptance and demand for cannabis among the public. Cannabis, a genus within the Cannabaceae family, has seen a broadening consumer base as societal views shift. This growing acceptance translates directly into higher demand, which in turn drives the need for expanded cultivation to meet market requirements.
For example, in May 2024, Cannabis Business Time, a US-based B2B media company, reported that approximately 62,960 medical cannabis patients in the UK are expected in 2024, generating around $260 million in sales. This figure breaks down to an average annual consumption of roughly $4,130 per patient or about $345 each month, highlighting the significant role increasing acceptance plays in market growth.
