The Global Cannabis Testing Market, by Product Type (Analytical Instruments [Chromatography Instruments {Liquid Chromatography, Gas Chromatography, and Others} Spectroscopy Instruments [Mass Spectroscopy and Atomic Spectroscopy], Consumables and Breathe Analyzer), by Service Type (Potency Testing, Terpene Testing, Pesticide Testing, Residual Solvent, Heavy Metal Testing, Mycotoxin and Microbial Testing, and Others), by End Users (Testing Laboratories, Drug Manufactures, and Research Institutes ), and by Region (North America, Latin America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Middle East, and Africa) was valued at US$ 926.3 million in 2017, and is projected to exhibit a CAGR of 13.2 % over the forecast period (2018 – 2026). Approval of cannabis for medical and recreational purpose to drive growth of the cannabis testing market Since recent past, cannabis have been extensively researched for its medicinal applications in treatment of chronic pain, arthritis, digestion problem, epilepsy, and other neurological disease. This research is resulting into legalization of cannabis in many parts of the world and introduction of cannabis-based pharmaceutical products. For instance, in July 2017, 18 states in the U.S. allowed the use of Cannabidiol (CBD) extract, majorly in oil form with minimal tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) content to be used for the treatment of epilepsy or seizures in adversely affected children. States in U.S. such as California, Nevada, Maine, and Massachusetts voted positive to legalize the recreational use of cannabis in November 2016. Therefore, legalization would result into requirement of quality testing of cannabis, which is expected to drive growth for cannabis testing market. Cannabis are often contaminated with heavy metals and pesticide residue due to cultivation at different area and applying different processing techniques therefore it is necessary to check for amount of this material in the given sample of cannabis.
New product launches and collaboration by key players are expected to drive growth of the cannabis testing market Key players are launching new products for testing the cannabis using various tests, which would provide efficient and direst solutions to cannabis testing in turn fueling growth of the cannabis testing market. For instance, in 2017, Shimadzu launched new cannabis analyzer for potency testing. It is new HPLC systems for quantitative determination of cannabinoid content. In the same year, Agilent launched 6495B triple quadrupole LC/MS system to test food, pharmaceutical (includes cannabis) and environmental material with high detection accuracy. In 2016, Shimadzu Corporation launched new inductive coupled plasma mass spectrophotometer, which can be utilized in detecting cannabis active ingredient in given sample. In the same year, Perkin Elmer launched Q sight Triple Quadrupole LC/MS/MS system for analysis of complex material such as cannabis. Companies are also collaborating with different stakeholders in cannabis testing industry. For instance, in 2016, AB SCIEX Inc. and CW Analytical collaborated to develop first cannabis quality and potency testing standards. This would help overall industry as currently there are no universal standards for cannabis profiling. In 2017, Shimadzu Corporation, Cure Pharma and CK Science entered into agreement to research and develop safe cannabis-based pharmaceutical product.
As a part of the agreement, Shimadzu would help set standards and provide analytical instruments for developing safer products. Furthermore, increasing number of the labs getting accreditation that provide cannabis testing facilities for different parameters is expected to drive the market growth. For instance, in April 2018, Association of Commercial Cannabis Laboratory accredited two new laboratory in Alaska for testing cannabis, Alaska has permitted medicinal as well as recreational use of cannabis.
