Potential Size and Growth Potential of Canadian Cannabis Market

A November 2016 Canadian Cannabis Industry Report by Canaccord Genuity stated: "The medical patient base in Canada is currently in excess of 100,000 patients — a significant uptake from only a few thousand registrants a couple of years ago. As result of the significant growth already observed in the number medical cannabis users in Canada, we estimate that by the end of 2021, the number of registered patients will exceed 500,000. We expect this proportion to increase to ~2.0% (or~800,000 patients) over the next 10 years."

The recent "Recreational Marijuana Insights and Opportunities" report by Deloitte, stated: "On sales of recreational marijuana alone, the Canadian marketplace could be as much as $5 billion per year to start — a number on par with the Canadian spirit market (whiskey, vodka, rum, etc.). At the upper threshold, which takes into account the people who are "likely to consume," marijuana sales alone could be as high as $8.7 billion, similar to sales generated by wine. When you factor in ancillaries such as security, transportation, etc., the potential economic impact approaches $23 billion. And none of this accounts for things like taxes, licensing fees, tourism and paraphernalia sales."
