California Cannabis Market
In 2017, California’s regulatory regime allowed only holding state-issued medical cannabis cards to legally purchase cannabis. But that hasn’t stopped sales in the state from eclipsing the other states with recreational sales. In fact, sales in California represented about 34 percent of legal sales in the United States. In 2018, California retail stores sold $2.5 billion worth of cannabis products, compared to $1.5 billion in Colorado’s robust cannabis marketplace, $1.0 billion in Washington, and $0.6 billion in Oregon."
California Cannabis Market Projections
By 2022, cannabis market in California is projected to jump to $7.7 billion – boosted significantly by California’s recreational cannabis market that opened for business in 2018. The California cannabis industry’s total economic impact could be nearly $15 billion in the next four years. According to the UCAIC, about 29 percent of cannabis consumers may, at first, stay in the illicit market to avoid the costs of new regulations, which will add 15 percent to retail values. After the state adopts regulations, legal recreational use will make up 61.5 percent of the overall market, illegally purchased marijuana will make up about 29.5 percent of the market and legal medical marijuana use will be about 9 percent of the overall market, the analysis estimated. Sales from recreational use are projected to account for over half of total Concentrate sales in California and continue to increase in proportion to overall category sales. Medical cannabis sales are expected to decline down to $600 million as people migrate toward the adult-use market to avoid medical cannabis ID fees.
Dan Oran, CEO of PSIQ, stated, “The proposed acquisition of Ecoland gives PSIQ its footprint into the largest Cannabis market in the United States."
