The Missouri legal cannnabis market size was estimated at USD 1.44 billion in 2023 and is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 20.4% from 2024 to 2030. Growing disease burden of chronic pain and increasing requirement for pain management therapies across Missouri are the key factors driving this growth. In addition, rising legalization and awareness of health benefits of cannabis consumption are expected to drive demand.

Additionally, the state's legalization of cannabis significantly expanded the potential for industry expansion. Missouri has permitted the cultivation, distribution, and manufacturing of medicinal cannabis since November 2018. Since then, a sharp increase in sales has been recorded, driving market growth. The presence of a large number of government-authorized dispensaries across the state can also be attributed to this growth. A strong presence of local players along with increasing research activities undertaken by various players to study cannabis benefits is also contributing to market growth. In November 2022, Missouri passed Amendment 3, which legalized the possession, purchase, sale, and manufacturing of recreational cannabis in the state.

The COVID-19 pandemic has further impacted industry expansion. During this period, there was a temporary halt on the licensing and launch of medicinal and recreational marijuana throughout Missouri, as the state and municipal governments sped up to finish tasks and paperwork required to move their marijuana program ahead. Moreover, coronavirus lockdowns led to a decrease in customers buying from offline or retail markets. Several major players promptly shifted their focus to marketing and selling products via social media and e-commerce platforms. There was a substantial growth in the number of patients who consumed medical marijuana in Missouri during this period.

End-use Insights

Recreational segment dominated the market with the largest market share of 64.4% and is anticipated to register the fastest CAGR from 2024 to 2030.

Medical use accounted for the second largest revenue share Potency and effectiveness for treating a variety of illnesses are the subjects of several research studies, which have led to a rise in medical use of cannabis. Legalization has also been a major driver for market growth. Medical use has received widespread acceptance, which bodes well for this segment’s growth. Medical professionals are now finding it simpler to prescribe cannabis to patients who request it because of the ease of laws and regulations around its usage. The stigma associated with marijuana usage has considerably decreased as a result of increased public understanding of its advantages.

Market Dynamics

The legalization of cannabis in various U.S. states can be attributed as a key growth driver. Increased instances of doctors' prescriptions for cannabis-based treatments for chronic diseases such as Alzheimer’s have led to an increase in the market penetration of cannabis. CBD oils are currently used for treating arthritis, Parkinson’s disease, and cancer-induced nausea, among others. An increasing preference of patients for cannabis-based treatments over traditional drugs is attributed to be a critical factor for market growth. A publication in the Journal of Pancreatic Cancer has shown that CBD helps prevent cancer spread by suppressing cancer cells’ growth in the body, thereby reducing the need for chemotherapy-based drugs. The use of CBD oils is less toxic compared to other chemotherapy drugs. Such factors are expected to positively impact market growth through 2030.

Missouri's legal cannabis market is witnessing strong growth and is expected to expand considerably in the coming years. The acceptance of cannabis has been varied in the medical community as a legitimate treatment course for illnesses such as childhood seizures, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, glaucoma, and chemotherapy-induced weight loss. It is still federally prohibited as a Schedule drug, and it is unclear how the current administration will address recreational use.

Product Insights

In 2023, flower accounted for the largest revenue share of 35.8% and is anticipated to register a significant CAGR from 2024 to 2030. This growth can be attributed to the benefits, ease of utilization, and lower cost of cannabis flowers compared to other products.

Pre-rolls are expected to grow at the fastest CAGR from 2024 to 2030, owing to rising adoption of pre-rolls by Missourians and legalization of marijuana for recreational purposes. Pre-rolls are considered one of the most common methods of smoking cannabis. Pre-rolls are gaining popularity owing to their ease of use and easy availability of these in multiple dispensaries across the state.

Key Companies & Market Share Insights

Cannabis products offer various health advantages, which has increased demand for usage in treating a range of chronic diseases. Hence, the products are quickly gaining traction. Key players are launching new products and investing in partnerships, mergers and acquisitions, collaborations with other companies, and other strategic activities to gain greater shares.
