Products segment held the highest estimated share of the cannabis testing market.
Based on product & software, the cannabis testing market is segmented into products (analytical instruments {chromatography instruments [liquid chromatography, gas chromatography & other chromatography instruments], spectroscopy instruments [mass spectrometry instruments & atomic spectroscopy instruments] & other analytical instruments} and consumables {chromatography columns, standards and CRMS, sample preparation products and other consumables) and software. The product segment accounted for the largest share of the cannabis testing market in 2023. Market growth is driven by technological advancements providing sophisticated tools for precise analysis, ensuring compliance and quality control, and the expanding legalization of cannabis products. Additionally, increasing requirements for potency labeling and pesticide screening fuel the demand for specialized consumables, further propelling growth in the cannabis testing market. For example, Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc. launched the Thermo Scientific SureSTART consumables portfolio consisting of vials, well plates, caps, inserts, kits, and mats to improve analytical performance and sample security for chromatography and mass spectrometry users in routine and research labs in clinical, food, pharma, biopharma, environmental, and academic sectors.
High growth of services segment attributed to potency testing services.
Based on service, the cannabis testing market is broadly segmented into terpene profiling, microbial analysis, residual solvent analysis, potency testing, heavy metal testing, pesticide screening, and other services. In 2023, potency testing accounted for the largest share of the cannabis testing services market. The high growth of this segment is due to stringent regulatory requirements ensuring accurate THC and CBD levels. This is crucial for product labeling, consumer safety, and compliance, driving demand from producers and dispensaries seeking to meet legal standards and provide reliable, high-quality products.
Services take away the largest estimated share of the end-user segment.
Based on end users, the cannabis testing market is classified into segmented into product & software end users (cannabis testing laboratories {small-scale laboratories, medium-scale laboratories, large-scale laboratories} and research institutes) and service end users (cannabis drug manufacturers & dispensaries, cannabis cultivators/growers). In 2023, the service end users' segment was predicted to account for the highest share of the global cannabis testing market. The large share of this end user segment is due to the rising consumer awareness of quality and safety, rising legalization of cannabis, stringent regulatory standards, and technological advancements in cannabis testing.
