Global Cannabis Testing Market– Impact of Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic

Since the COVID-19 virus outbreak in December 2019, the disease has spread to over 100 countries across the globe and the World Health Organization had declared it a public health emergency on January 30, 2020.

COVID-19 can affect the economy in three main ways: by directly affecting production and demand of drugs, by creating disruptions in distribution channels, and through its financial impact on firms and financial markets. Due to nationwide lockdowns, several countries, such as China, India, Saudi Arabia, U.A.E., Egypt, and others, are facing problems with regards to the transportation of drugs from one place to another.

Many businesses and companies in the cannabis testing services market have seen their operations and financial performance suffer as a result of the COVID–19 epidemic which resulted in the slowing of global research activity. The negative impact is mostly due to the closure of academic and research institutes, as well as testing laboratories. As a result, the number of cannabis tests done in laboratories has decreased.

Furthermore, various market players such as Merck KGaA, Shimadzu Corporation and PerkinElmer, Inc. in the global cannabis testing services market, which provide products and software to the cannabis testing industry, observe a drop in sales of instruments and consumables. As a result of lab closures, a decrease in the number of cannabis tests executed as well as certain limitations on the import and export of cannabis testing products. These factors contributed to a decrease in the sales of consumables and instruments used in the cannabis testing industry, stifling market growth.

Global Cannabis Testing Market: Key Developments

In August 2021, PSI Labs, Michigan’s Premier Cannabis Testing Lab, Michigan-based ISO 17025 accredited Safety Compliance Facility that provides essential cannabis testing services expanded into Southern California by acquisition with pH Solutions, LLC.  pH Solutions, LLC is one of the longest operating laboratories in the State of California, U.S.

Global Cannabis Testing Market: Restraint

Lack of standardized testing procedures is a major factor which is hindering the global cannabis testing services market growth during the forecast period. The rising demand for safe cannabis products has resulted the need of cannabis quality control testing facilities. However, several products fail to meet the standard criteria. According to California’s Bureau of Cannabis Control (BCC), in September 2018, approximately 32.9 percent of foods, tinctures, and lotion samples, as well as 20.4 percent of inhalable oils and waxes samples failed laboratory examination. Furthermore, there are certification problems for makers of infused goods because there are different rules and regulations stating the standardization method of the equipment. As a result, depending on the laboratory where a sample is examined, it might give a variety of outcomes which is projected to hamper the market growth.
