Report Highlights:

How Big Is the global cannabis infused edible products market?

The global cannabis infused edible products market size is anticipated to reach USD 22.2 Billion in 2024. Looking forward, IMARC Group estimates the market to reach USD 72.1 Billion by 2033, exhibiting a CAGR of 13.27% from 2025-2033. Growth is being driven by an increasing legalization of recreational and medical use of cannabis, rising demand for tobacco-free consumption of cannabis, increasing awareness of potential medical benefits and innovation in formats.

Progressive Legalization and Regulatory Reforms Expanding Market Access

Cannabis infused edible products are experiencing massive growth on the international market. This is due to the liberalization of cannabis laws for recreational and medical use in various nations, and the seemingly recent cultural shift from official prohibition to social acceptance and legalization of cannabis consumption on a global scale. Countries that permit the sale of cannabis edibles for human consumption under specific regulations for mass manufacture and distribution include the United States, Canada, Argentina, the Netherlands, Spain, Italy, Mexico, and Uruguay.

State by state legalization in the United States has created a patchwork of regulation in one of the world's largest cannabis markets. Individual states such as California, Colorado, Washington and Michigan have created major legal markets with mature regulations governing cultivation, manufacture, distribution, sale and taxation of cannabis. The legalization of cannabis for recreational use in Canada in 2018 created a regulated market which advocates have suggested as a model for other jurisdictions that are following suit. The legalization led to the licensing of the cannabis industry and substantial investment by the food and beverage industry.

Legalization also provides transparent regulation for business: companies operating legally can invest in product testing and quality control and sell their products in licensed dispensaries and stores. The products sold on the regulated market are tested for their potency, purity and safety. These products are generally superior to the unregulated black market products. Additionally, legalized sales increase substantial government tax revenues which are used for public services, contributing further to the legitimacy of the industry.

Given the changes of drug policies in several EU member states, pilot projects in Germany, Italy and Switzerland and medical cannabis legislations in the two latter countries, it is possible that markets for recreational cannabis products, including cannabis edibles, will develop in the EU at a transnational level. These markets could be driven by the economic benefits, by the public health benefits of legal markets instead of prohibition, and by the demand for access to legal cannabis products.

The legalization trend has continued into emerging markets of Latin America and the Asia Pacific region, and is starting to seep into Africa, with medical cannabis programs coming online and wider discussions around recreational legalization. This lets the cannabis industry last, while producers scale production, build out distribution channels, and develop new products.

Shifting Consumer Preferences Toward Healthier Consumption Methods

This rapid growth in the cannabis infused edibles market has been fueled by a fundamental behavioral shift of the cannabis consumer from smoking cannabis which is viewed as an unhealthy delivery method to the consumption of cannabis infused edibles as a perceived healthier and more discreet consumption alternative in keeping with evolving health consciousness of cannabis consumers. Edibles do not involve inhaling smoke, tar or carcinogens, which is a main reason for their use by health-conscious and respiratory-sensitive consumers.

The relative anonymity associated with edibles has contributed to their popularity. Consumed likewise to food products, cannabis-infused edibles, such as gummies, chocolates, non-alcoholic beverages and baked goods, do not have the odor or visible smoke associated with customary consumption. This discretion may appeal to consumers who prefer not to be publicly identified with cannabis consumption or who live in jurisdictions in which cannabis smoking is restricted or prohibited. The ability to consume cannabis products in public or work environments without calling attention to its consumption may expand the general population for cannabis products.

The resulting variety and novelty in the edible cannabis marketplace has provided a wider array of products to consumers' interests, dietary needs, and recreational desires. The public can now choose from cannabis gourmet chocolates, handmade baked goods, fruit gummies, mints, and drinks (teas, carbonated soft drinks, milks, and energy drinks) as well as savory snacks. With this diversification, cannabis consumption moves from a utilitarian practice to an epicurean practice which appeals to connoisseurs interested in quality, taste and product presentation.

Another advantage of edibles over smoking is the precision of dosing. With manufactured cannabis edibles, the cannabinoid content of the product is clear and there is a consistent and predictable experience, which is important to medicating or therapeutic users who need stable and reproducible treatment effects, but which is also relevant to recreational users who want to control their experience. Microdosing is another use, with low concentrations of THC allowing users to feel positive effects of cannabis without intoxication or other functional impairment, which some users seek in their daily activities.

Consumption of edibles is associated with older age, higher wealth, and interest in the health aspects of cannabis. Consumers who buy higher-quality products tend to attach more importance to quality, safety, and consistency, attributes which might be more easily met by professional manufacturers, through quality control, third-party testing, and labeling transparency. The general acceptance of edibles as a category of mainstream consumer products, combined with normalization of cannabis consumption in general, continues to drive growth in the market.

Growing Recognition of Therapeutic Benefits and Medical Applications

Edibles have a growing market because research explores therapeutic effects from the cannabinoids CBD and THC, and the public learns of their helpful effects. Researchers studied cannabis to treat chronic pain, inflammation, anxiety, depression, insomnia, nausea, and neurological disorders. This scientific evidence has increased patients' acceptance of cannabis as a treatment versus medications that have unwanted side effects or that possibly lead to addiction.

In medical contexts, cannabis edibles affect people for longer than when people smoke or vaporize it, so edibles are useful for symptoms that require relief for a longer time, such as chronic pain. Cannabis edibles are also used by cancer patients during chemotherapy to relieve nausea from chemotherapy, stimulate appetite, and relieve pain. Some patients who suffer from chronic pain choose to use cannabis edibles because the effects last several hours, thus they do not have to regularly consume cannabis. Cannabis edibles are manufactured in specific dosages, allowing medical cannabis patients to identify their optimal cannabinoid threshold and measure their dose.

The contrasting products of CBD and THC allow consumers to select a therapeutic product that may be best for them based on their individual needs and the laws of their country. Because it is non-intoxicating, CBD has attracted the interest of people seeking a treatment for anxiety, inflammation, epilepsy, and sleep problems. This situation has led to a major market for products with a higher ratio of THC intended for use where the consumption of THC products is prohibited. Such products satisfy the demand from consumers to gain the psychoactive effects in a recreational context and from patients in a medical context.

The use of medical cannabis products as adjunctive or alternative therapy by a health care practitioner is further legitimizing the medical use of cannabis. The addition of cannabis products to mainstream medicine reduces the stigma of use and encourages patients to consider medical cannabis as adjunctive therapy under the supervision of their health care practitioner. Some health systems and insurers are beginning to adopt the use of medical cannabis but coverage remains limited relative to conventional drugs.

Cannabis Infused Edible Products Market Trends 2025

Cannabis is an emerging market for pet wellness. Hemp-based CBD products are being marketed for dog and cat indications including: anxiety, arthritis, epilepsy, chronic pain, inflammation, loss of appetite, seizures, and anxiety. Pet owners and pets alike can be enticed by human anecdotal cases to seek natural cannabinoid alternatives to customary veterinary medicine. This trend suggests the acceptability of cannabinoid therapeutics where legally authorized, opening new markets to manufacturers of cannabis edibles.

The 2025 cannabis infused edible products market is characterized by rapid accelerations in product innovation, product diversity, and growth. New formats such as fast-acting nanoemulsion edibles are becoming available. Unlike customary infused edibles, they do not require such a long wait time for effects to kick in. The faster onset of effects is due to nanotechnology, which is used to create nano-emulsified formulations. These can take 15 to 30 minutes to take effect. Customary edibles take 45 to 90 minutes.

Edibles labeled premium and gourmet are beginning to emerge. Consumers are developing a taste in luxury ingredients and specialized preparation techniques from fine dining establishments, and they are increasingly interested in edible products offered via partnerships between cannabis brands and established food brands, gourmet restaurants, or celebrity chefs. Marketers sell gourmet chocolates, craft beverages, artisan confections, and premium-priced cannabis products to higher-income cannabis consumers. Those consumers look for higher quality items or branded experiences. These experiences revolve around cannabis, showing cannabis is becoming mainstream and premium.

Health and wellness messaging drives product development, and manufacturers add other ingredients beyond cannabis to their products. Edibles are marketed with adaptogens, vitamins, minerals, probiotics, and nootropics to health-conscious consumers looking for holistic wellness products. Alongside vegan, gluten-free, organic, and sugar-free formulations, clean label products with natural ingredients and transparent supply chains appeal to consumers in search of more complexity in their food's quality and sustainability credentials.

Beverages are one of the fastest growing categories of cannabis edibles. Cannabis infused teas, coffees, energy drinks, relaxation drinks and non-alcoholic alcohol substitutes offer familiar consumption experiences with cannabinoid effects. They can take effect more quickly through sublingual absorption, and provide a non-caloric alternative to conventional edibles. Many beverage companies have entered the cannabis beverage market through partnership, product development, and marketing expertise, allowing companies access to a wider base of consumers.

In certain mature markets, harmonization regulations adopted standardized requirements in testing, labeling, and safety standards which improve consumer confidence and ease interstate commerce. Child-resistant packaging, potency limits, batch testing, packaging standards, and dosage labels protect consumers as the market develops. These regulatory refinements clarify operations for businesses and support product safety and integrity.

E-commerce, delivery services, and the addition of technology to improve customer experience have enabled modern cannabis retailing. Online marketplaces have enabled product discovery, comparison and purchase, while data analysis allows customer targeting and personalized recommendations. Digital technology improves visibility, inventory handling, regulatory compliance, and customer interactions such as loyalty programs, customer education, or information on the website.
