Germany has become Europe’s largest market with a patient base that has grown to 128,000. This helped drive Germany’s medical cannabis market sales up 34% in 2020. Also, according to Prohibition Partners latest European report, Germany’s patient base is expected to continue to increase as development of the medical cannabis system is still ongoing, with the streamlining of wholesale pricing regulations being an important next step. The market is also expected to continue to move towards more extract-based medicine instead of flower-based products.
