Japan Medical Cannabis Industry Trends and Drivers

The Japan medical cannabis market is witnessing notable growth, primarily due to the changing regulatory environment and acceptance of cannabis-based therapeutics. An important component continues to be an increase in consumer awareness and acceptance of the many non-psychoactive cannabidiol (CBD) products available for purchase. Consumer demand continues to increase as it becomes more known that CBD can help with stress and anxiety disorders, chronic pain, sleep disorder, and much more. Moreover, the growth of the medical cannabis market is an aging population that wants to further explore alternative therapies for treatment of arthritis, insomnia, and other conditions. A major contributor to growth is the gradual regulatory changes or legal reforms taking place recently - The Cannabis Control Law was amended, allowing for the development of CBD based pharmaceuticals and clinical trials, and while restrictive on THC, parallel processes are also in place for the development of THC products.

Advancements in research regarding therapeutic applications related to more severe health conditions such as epilepsy, sleep disorders, and cancer patients experiencing pain are also allowing for a gradual shift from social stigmas of the past to more scientific based inquiry, acceptance, and expectations. Finally, as e-commerce keeps evolving, and the retail landscape continues to evolve to include specialty retail, Canadian consumers can somewhat more freely access THC-free products such as CBD oil and capsules from either sector, or buy products online in a mostly hassle-free manner. All of these factors, and Japan's priority placed on health care innovation, are creating a perception of a promising outlook for the medical cannabis market.
