The global market size for Cannabis Testing was valued at USD 1218.0 million in 2019 and estimated to be growing at a CAGR of 12.42%, to reach USD 2187.3 million by 2024 during the forecast period 2019 - 2024.
Cannabis Testing can be defined as the various methods of drug testing for detecting the use of cannabis in an individual in the fields of sport, medicine, and law. There are many ways in which cannabis use can be detected, some of them are urine testing, hair testing, blood testing, and saliva testing among others. Unlike the detection of alcohol by using breathalysers, detecting cannabis use by any test takes a considerable amount of time. A few tests like Duquenois-Levine test can be used for quick detection but it’s not reliable since it gives false-positive results for many other substances than cannabinoids.
Cannabis testing refers to the analysis of a single cannabis sample that can be tested to determine elements like THC, CBD and terpene levels as well as impurities such as residual solvents, mold, diseases, pests or pesticide residues. Every country imposes its own standards and regulations on what needs to be tested and printed on cannabis labels. Individual producers can choose higher standards and go as long as their samples are analyzed for CBC and CBG levels. Cannabis testing can only be performed by certified chemical and laboratory technicians.
The major factors that are boosting the growth of the cannabis testing market are the legalization of medical cannabis associated with an increasing number of cannabis analysis laboratories, Greater adoption of LIMS in cannabis testing laboratories, growing awareness among people through conferences, and workshops.
The factors that are limiting the growth of cannabis market are High cost of analytical instruments, lack of specialized laboratories, high startup costs for cannabis testing laboratories, lack of industry standards for cannabis testing, high cost of installing a cannabis test facility
Increasing economies of developing countries in APAC and Middle East region are expected to increase opportunities for the stakeholders operating in these regions. The need for more testing laboratories to meet the demand of growing cannabis producers across the world is likely to create opportunities for the cannabis testing market during the forecast period.
Among various methods of testing, cannabis usage by taking urine samples can be detected up to 2-5 days after exposure in infrequent users and up to 15 days in heavy users. Through saliva testing, usage can be detected in a short time window of only 3 days, but the advantage is it can detect compounds with concentration as less as 0.5 ng/mL. Though blood testing is not frequently used as the procedure is invasive, it can detect usage within 12-24 hours window in infrequent users and 7 days in heavy users. Hair testing has the special feature of detecting usage even after 90 days of exposure and can detect concentration as low as 1 pg/mg of sample.
