Industrial Hemp Market to Exceed USD 7 Billion by 2031 Supported by Favorable Regulations, with North America Holding Over 55% Share, Reports Mordor Intelligence
HYDERABAD, India, April 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- According to Mordor Intelligence, the global industrial hemp market is projected to grow from USD 3.57 billion in 2026, reaching USD 7.95 billion by 2031, reflecting a CAGR of 17.36%. Industry Growth is supported by evolving regulatory frameworks that sustain legality while improving access to hemp-based food, wellness, and construction applications.
In North America, net-zero building initiatives are contributing to increased adoption of hemp-based materials such as hempcrete, while cannabidiol product availability continues to expand through retail and pharmacy channels. In Europe, provisional intake guidelines for cannabidiol are influencing the pace of Novel Food approvals, even as regulatory differences across markets persist. Meanwhile, investment is favoring processors with consistent quality capabilities, while smaller cultivators face ongoing pricing pressures and land-use limitations that may constrain supply expansion.
Industrial Hemp Market Drivers & Key Trends:
Policy Shifts Across Key Markets
Hemp regulations remain uneven across major economies, with some countries easing access while others tighten controls, creating both opportunities and uncertainty for businesses. Companies that can navigate cross-border compliance are better positioned, though inconsistent policies still limit wider investment.
Growing Preference for Plant-Based Consumption
Hemp-derived foods and beverages are gaining traction as consumers shift toward plant-based nutrition, supported by improved product quality and retail expansion. However, awareness gaps still exist, making clear labeling and education essential for broader adoption.
Expansion in Wellness and Retail Channels
Cannabidiol products are becoming more visible in mainstream retail and pharmacy settings, reflecting rising acceptance in wellness routines. Evolving regulations and healthcare involvement could further strengthen their position, though market growth depends on clearer policy direction.

Canada continues to balance fiber and grain production while supplying international markets, whereas slower regulatory progress in Mexico is limiting large-scale expansion.
Across Europe, countries are focusing on fiber production to meet sustainability goals, with growing demand from construction and food sectors. However, differing cannabidiol regulations across the region are creating inconsistencies that affect product availability and investment decisions.
Asia-Pacific is emerging as a high-growth region, driven by large-scale cultivation and expanding wellness channels, although restrictions on cannabidiol in some countries and limited processing capacity in others continue to pose challenges.
