The total Thai cannabis and hemp market (medical prescriptions, CBD wellness products, hemp-derived food ingredients, cannabis-infused F&B) was estimated at USD 500 million to USD 1 billion in 2024, though regulatory uncertainty from recriminalisation debates has sharply compressed commercial investment.
