Synthetic cannabinoids are human-made chemicals that are either sprayed on shredded plant material for smoking or sold as liquids that may be vaporized and inhaled via e-cigarettes and other devices. They are also known as herbal incense or liquid incense. Chemically, they are known as cannabinoids because they are similar to those found in marijuana plants. Known as new psychoactive substances (NPS), synthetic cannabinoids belong to the group of drugs known as synthetic cannabinoids. Synthetic cannabinoids are a class of drugs designed to mimic the effects of THC, the principal psychoactive ingredient in cannabis.
Factors Influencing Market Growth
The increasing popularity of e-cigarettes and the increasing acceptance of synthetic cannabinoids as an alternative to non-synthetic cannabis in several parts of the world is forecast to boost the global synthetic cannabinoids market.
The rise in joint and muscle pain incidence, the health benefits provided by synthetic cannabinoids, and companies' increasing focus on CBD products are key factors expected to drive the global synthetic cannabinoids market during the forecast period.
Increasing uncertainty in regards to the safety and health effects of the consumption of synthetic cannabinoids and increasing evidence that synthetic cannabinoids negatively affect the human brain are among the key factors that may slow down the overall market growth.
Impact Analysis of COVID-19
COVID-19 had hampered the sale of synthetic cannabinoids, especially in 2020. Growing awareness of the novel COVID-19 infection and its effects on the human respiratory system have been the key factors hindering the sale of synthetic cannabinoids. Additionally, stringent government regulations in several nations regarding the trade and transportation of non-essential goods and commodities were major factors disrupting the global supply chain for synthetic cannabinoids in 2020.
Regional Insights
North America held dominance in the synthetic cannabinoids market in 2021 and is forecast to continue dominating the synthetic cannabinoids market during the forecast period. The rise in the incidence of neurological pain disorders, multiple sclerosis, and cancer is forecast to drive the market in the region. In addition, the production of synthetic cannabinoids is likely to boost the market in the country in the forecast period. Furthermore, rising exports and imports of synthetic cannabinoids are likely to increase due to the approval of legalizing the sale of CBD products in several countries throughout the forecast period.
