German market set to blossom
According to the Brightfield Group, a leading predictive analytics and market research firm, Germany’s medical cannabis market totaled $73 million in 2018 but is expected to blossom to $2.7 billion by 2023.
Brightfield forecast Germany’s CBD market to be Europe’s biggest with nearly $605 million in sales, an exponential increase from Germany’s estimated CBD sales of approximately $38 million in 2018.
With over 365,000 physicians, 2,200 hospitals and thousands of clinics, Germany is becoming a leading European Union member in the emerging international cannabis industry.
Patient numbers are growing at a brisk rate and cannabis product uptake has been robust across the country, which is lacking product information, education and knowledge.
EuroLife has recognized this as an opportunity to make a positive impact for patients and establish first-mover advantage into this significant cannabis marketplace.
Brightfield Group estimates Europe’s overall legal medical cannabis sales in 2018 totaled approximately $316 million, however the market is projected to grow by a sizzling compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 83% and reach nearly $8 billion by 2023.
Earlier in September, EuroLife announced that its newly appointed advisory board chairman, Derek Ivany, will be leading an extensive European investor roadshow scheduled for commencement in late September.
The company said the specific focus on the upcoming investor tour will be placed on contact points in Germany, UK, Austria, Frankfurt, Switzerland, Greece and Portugal amongst retail, institutional, and family office investors.
