Germany's cannabis market crowded as flower prices fall 22% and SKUs rise 73%
Two and a half years after the MedCanG took effect, Germany's medical cannabis market is crowded and cheap. Flower SKUs rose by 73% to 2,381 in the year to September 2026, while the average price per gram fell from €7.70 to €6.00. With the Ministry of Health still pushing for in-person first prescriptions and a mail-order ban, Prohibition Partners estimates the market could shrink by as much as 50% if those restrictions pass.
