The political link between marijuana and industrial hemp has led to several restrictions on consumption, cultivation, distribution, and processing of the product in North America and Oceania. However, growing legalization and liberalization for the cultivation of industrial hemp with tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) content not more than 0.3 in countries such as the U.S. is expected to have a positive impact on the market growth in North America and Oceania. Seed oil and seedcakes are witnessing increasing demand owing to high nutritional value and fatty acid content of seeds, which, in turn, is expected to drive the growth of seeds segment.
Processing facilities extract required components from crops with the help of processing and manufacturing equipment. However, low yield, lack of harvesting innovations, and processing facilities, and difficulties in the transportation of industrial hemp in highly regulated markets are the factors hampering the market growth in North America and Oceania. Major players in the market are investing heavily in the research & development activities to achieve high yields and to maintain high-quality products at minimum prices to gain a competitive edge.
