Several cannabis companies, including CannaRoyalty Corp, are increasing their stakes and investments in the California cannabis market since the legalization of adult use cannabis. California cannabis is likely to exceed $3 billion in market value by the end of this year, according to ArcView Market Research and BDS Analytics.
California, the state of 40 million residents and the sixth largest economy, represents about a third of the North American cannabis market. Cowen & Co analysts believe the California cannabis market could account for almost half of the total U.S. market by 2026; they are expecting the California cannabis market to reach $25 billion in the next seven years.
Simultaneously, cannabis companies are investing substantially in California to capitalize on the increasing demand for medical and recreational cannabis.
