Cannabis Policy & Market Momentum
Ancillary sectors of Germany’s emerging cannabis industry continue to benefit from the nation’s historic 2024 CanG law, which permits adults to cultivate, possess, and consume personal amounts of cannabis. Companies that provide products and services focusing on home cultivation and consumption are experiencing tremendous growth in Germany.
The medical cannabis industry in Germany continues to be the biggest winner of the enactment of the CanG law, thanks to the removal of cannabis from Germany’s Narcotics List. Germany’s cannabis industry is continuing its impressive growth, including in the adult-use cannabis cultivation association sector.

Industry Growth & Opportunities
At the most recent International Cannabis Business Conference in Berlin in April 2025, leading international cannabis economist Beau Whitney presented data highlighting that the total addressable global market value of the international industrial hemp industry could be as much as $456.2 billion. Additionally, Mr. Whitney estimated that the total global addressable market value for medical and adult-use cannabis consumables is roughly $237.8 billion. A vast majority of the current global demand for hemp, medical, and adult-use products remains untapped, with many markets either being unregulated or still in the early stages of regulation.
