Reports Description
With a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of around 10.5% between 2022 and 2030, the global cannabis testing market is expected to increase from its estimated value of USD 1.5 billion in 2021 to USD 3.0 billion by 2030. The report examines the forces driving and restraining the cannabis testing industry and how they will affect demand throughout the forecast period. The paper also looks at international potential in the cannabis testing sector.
Cannabis Testing Market: Overview
Cannabis testing has many uses, including figuring out the amount of cannabis present in various analytical samples, such as drug samples, and finding contaminants like bacteria and fungi. Additionally, it is done to find trace elements like cadmium and arsenic that, if not regulated, might harm health. Numerous analytical methods, including chromatographic analysis, spectrometry, ELISA, and polymerase chain reaction, are used to carry out these tests (PCR).
Cannabis Testing Market: COVID–19 Impact Analysis
The newest novel coronavirus, COVID-19, is the infectious disease it causes. Before the outbreak in Wuhan (China) in December 2019, COVID-19 was largely unknown. Since then, it has transformed from a local issue to a worldwide pandemic. In addition, due to laboratory closures, a decline in the number of cannabis tests conducted, and some restrictions on the import and export of cannabis test products, several market players that provide goods to the cannabis testing industry have seen a decline in sales of tools and consumables. These elements have slowed market expansion by causing a fall in the sales of consumables and equipment used in the cannabis testing sector.
Cannabis Testing Market: Growth Drivers
Medical cannabis has been proven to be useful in several medical uses, including easing chemotherapy-induced nausea, increasing appetite in AIDS patients, reducing muscular spasms in MS patients, and lowering intraocular pressure in glaucoma patients. Governments in various nations are allowing the use of medical cannabis because of its advantages for health.
The demand for cannabis analytics to assure its safety before human ingestion has grown recently as medical cannabis is allowed in several nations and states across the world. Industry analysts predict that over the next years, the number of cannabis testing labs will increase significantly, largely as a result of the increased legality and uptake of cannabis testing.
Cannabis Testing Market: Segmentation Analysis
Potency testing services took the industry by storm in 2021 regarding service types. As more and more potency testing methods, like gas chromatography (GC) and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), are used on samples, the market is growing. People are also becoming more interested in studying the potency of different cannabinoids, especially CBD (cannabidiol) and THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) in grown cannabis.
Cannabis cultivators dominated the market in 2021 based on end consumers. Due to government regulations on the THC level of cannabis products in many nations, breeders enter into partnerships with testing labs and research facilities. Additionally, according to their plants’ CBD and THC content, these producers must sell various strains of plants to manufacturers and distributors at various costs. These are the main elements promoting the segment’s expansion.

Report Methodology
In order to get the most precise estimates and forecasts possible, Custom Market Insights applies a detailed and adaptive research methodology centered on reducing deviations. For segregating and assessing quantitative aspects of the market, the company uses a combination of top-down and bottom-up approaches. Furthermore, data triangulation, which examines the market from three different aspects, is a recurring theme in all of our research reports. The following are critical components of the methodology used in all of our studies:
Preliminary Data Mining
On a broad scale, raw market information is retrieved and compiled. Data is constantly screened to make sure that only substantiated and verified sources are taken into account. Furthermore, data is mined from a plethora of reports in our archive and also a number of reputed & reliable paid databases. To gain a detailed understanding of the business, it is necessary to know the entire product life cycle and to facilitate this, we gather data from different suppliers, distributors, and buyers.
Surveys, technological conferences, and trade magazines are used to identify technical issues and trends. Technical data is also gathered from the standpoint of intellectual property, with a focus on freedom of movement and white space. The dynamics of the industry in terms of drivers, restraints, and valuation trends are also gathered. As a result, the content created contains a diverse range of original data, which is then cross-validated and verified with published sources.
Statistical Model
Simulation models are used to generate our business estimates and forecasts. For each study, a one-of-a-kind model is created. Data gathered for market dynamics, the digital landscape, development services, and valuation patterns are fed into the prototype and analyzed concurrently. These factors are compared, and their effect over the projected timeline is quantified using correlation, regression, and statistical modeling. Market forecasting is accomplished through the use of a combination of economic techniques, technical analysis, industry experience, and domain knowledge.
Short-term forecasting is typically done with econometric models, while long-term forecasting is done with technological market models. These are based on a synthesis of the technological environment, legal frameworks, economic outlook, and business regulations. Bottom-up market evaluation is favored, with crucial regional markets reviewed as distinct entities and data integration to acquire worldwide estimates. This is essential for gaining a thorough knowledge of the industry and ensuring that errors are kept to a minimum.
Some of the variables taken into account for forecasting are as follows:
• Industry drivers and constraints, as well as their current and projected impact
• The raw material case, as well as supply-versus-price trends
• Current volume and projected volume growth through 2030
We allocate weights to these variables and use weighted average analysis to determine the estimated market growth rate.
Primary Validation
This is the final step in our report’s estimating and forecasting process. Extensive primary interviews are carried out, both in-person and over the phone, to validate our findings and the assumptions that led to them.
Leading companies from across the supply chain, including suppliers, technology companies, subject matter experts, and buyers, use techniques like interviewing to ensure a comprehensive and non-biased overview of the business. These interviews are conducted all over the world, with the help of local staff and translators, to overcome language barriers.
Primary interviews not only aid with data validation, but also offer additional important insight into the industry, existing business scenario, and future projections, thereby improving the quality of our reports.
All of our estimates and forecasts are validated through extensive research work with key industry participants (KIPs), which typically include:
• Market leaders
• Suppliers of raw materials
• Suppliers of raw materials
• Buyers.
The following are the primary research objectives:
• To ensure the accuracy and acceptability of our data.
• Gaining an understanding of the current market and future projections.
