The adoption of cannabis for treating chronic diseases is anticipated to drive the growth of the cannabis cultivation market in the future. A chronic disease refers to a medical condition that persists for a year or longer, requiring ongoing medical care and limiting daily activities. The use of cannabis for chronic disease treatment supports cannabis cultivation by demonstrating safety, efficacy, and consistency that meet regulatory approval standards for conditions such as spasticity associated with multiple sclerosis and Dravet and Lennox-Gastaut Syndromes. For example, in April 2022, a report from Octopus Ventures, a UK-based venture capital fund, highlighted that while 1% of Canada's population benefits from medicinal cannabis, the UK’s prescription rate stands at only 0.005% of those who could benefit. Thus, the increasing adoption of cannabis for chronic disease treatment is fueling the cannabis cultivation market.

The increasing public acceptance and demand for cannabis are expected to boost the growth of the cannabis cultivation market going forward. Cannabis refers to a genus of flowering plants in the Cannabaceae family. Greater public acceptance and demand lead to a larger consumer base, which, in turn, drives the need for more cannabis cultivation. This expanded market can boost production and sales. For instance, in August 2022, according to a report published by the National Institutes of Health (NIH), a US-based government agency, 43% of young adults reported using marijuana in 2021. Additionally, 29% of young adults reported using marijuana in the past month during the same year. Furthermore, the prevalence of daily marijuana use among young adults significantly increased, with 11% reporting daily use in 2021. Therefore, the increasing public acceptance and demand for cannabis are driving the growth of the cannabis cultivation market.
