The market will witness accelerated growth through 2032, owing to increasing investment in research and development of hemp-based products. Companies are exploring innovative ways to integrate hemp into their offerings, leading to the creation of new and diverse products across various sectors.
For instance, in August 2024, Cannabis Orchards Inc., a Canadian industrial hemp breeding company based in Kemptville, Ontario, secured over half a million dollars in funding from the AgriScience Program and the National Research Council of Canada Industrial Research Assistance Program (NRC IRAP). The company received a $404,305 grant from the AgriScience Program to support its project focused on developing seedless triploid hemp lines for enhanced production of cannabidiol (CBD) and minor cannabinoids, including cannabigerol (CBG) and cannabichromene (CBC).
Additionally, the rise of sustainable fashion has contributed to the popularity of hemp textiles, which are valued for their durability, breathability, and eco-friendliness. Hemp is also gaining momentum in the food & beverage sector, with its seeds and oil being used as nutritional ingredients in a range of products, including protein bars, snacks, and beverages. Hemp’s rich nutritional profile, which includes essential fatty acids and protein, makes it an appealing choice for health-conscious consumers. As awareness of hemp’s health benefits grows, so will its adoption in the food & beverage industry, driving market expansion.
