Legal Cannabis Market Growth Domestically and Globally

NEW YORK, March 6, 2017 /PRNewswire/ --

Legal cannabis sales in the United States are projected to hit $21.8 billion by 2020 assuming a compound annual growth rate of 25% according to Arcview Market Research. This is based on the North American cannabis sales in 2016, which grew by an unprecedented 30% to $6.7 billion as the legal market expands. Tom Adams, Arcview's editor-in-chief, commented, "The only consumer industry categories I've seen reach $5 billion in annual spending and then post anything like 25% compound annual growth in the next five years are cable television (19%) in the 1990's and the broadband internet (29%) in the 2000's."

North America is not the only country where the perception towards cannabis products is becoming more acceptable. The global medical marijuana market is expected to reach a value of USD 55.8 billion by 2025, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc.
