Canada's scale advantage is becoming insurmountable
In 2024, Canada was already the largest medical cannabis exporter globally — exporting more volume than all other exporters combined. In 2025, Canadian export volumes skyrocketed, reaching over 250% of 2024 figures, reaching 275,343kg.
No other country competing in the global supply chain has a domestic recreational market at comparable scale, giving Canadian growers a structural competitive advantage that is deepening year-on-year. Read the report to explore how this is affecting cultivators in Israel, Portugal, and beyond.
Portugal is a processing hub — not a primary cultivator
While Portugal is firmly established as a leading medical cannabis production country in Europe, it is increasingly functioning as a processing and re-exportation hub rather than a primary cultivator. Available data indicates that in 2025, Portugal was likely a net importer of medical cannabis by volume, despite large exportation volumes — a structural shift with significant implications for the European supply chain.
Telemedicine defines the medical cannabis access model
Most major medical cannabis markets follow a consistent trajectory towards telemedicine-first access. Cannabis-specific clinics with no physical presence are now the norm, with patients accessing medicine through digital infrastructure — from video consultations to apps for prescription choice, fulfilment, and delivery.
Despite large numbers of teleclinics competing for market share, each market is typically dominated by a small number of successful operators. The report examines this dynamic across Australia (47 teleclinics), Germany (35), the UK (29), and Brazil (23).
